Carry On

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, I woke up to the sound of silence The cars were cutting like knives in a fistfight And I found you with a bottle of wine Your head in the curtains and heart like the fourth of July You swore and said, "We are not, we are not shining stars" This I know, I never said we are Though I've never been through hell like that I've closed enough windows to know you can never look back [Chorus] If you're lost and alone, or you're sinkin' like a stone Carry on May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground Carry on Carry on, carry on [Verse 2] So I met up with some friends at the edge of the night At a bar off 75 And we talked and talked about how our parents will die All our neighbors and wives But I'd like to think I can cheat it all To make up for the times I've been cheated on And it's nice to know when I was left for dead I was found and now I don't roam these streets I am not the ghost you are to me [Chorus] If you're lost and alone, or you're sinkin' like a stone Carry on May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground and Carry on [Post-Chorus] Woah, my head is on fire, but my legs are fine After all, they are mine Lay your clothes down on the floor Close the door, hold the phones Show me how no one's ever gonna stop us now [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] 'Cause we are, we are shining stars We are invincible, we are who we are On our darkest day, when we're miles away So we'll come, we will find our way home [Chorus] If you're lost and alone, or you're sinkin' like a stone Carry on May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground and Carry on [Outro] (No one's ever gonna stop us now) (No one's ever gonna stop us now) (No one's ever gonna stop us now)
