Lyrics
Carry On
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well I woke up to the sound of silence
And cries were cutting like knives in a fist fight
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
If you’re lost and alone
Or you’re sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground
Carry on
Carry on, carry on
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 neighbours and wives
But I 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
If you’re lost and alone
Or you’re sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground
Carry on
Whoa
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 phone
Show me how no one’s ever gonna stop us tonight
‘Cause here we are
We are shining stars
We are invincible
We are who we are
On our darkest day
When we’re miles away
Sun will come
We will find our way home
If you’re lost and alone
Or you’re sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground
Carry on
Oooh.
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
(No one’s ever gonna stop us tonight)
(No one’s ever, no one’s ever gonna stop, no one’s ever gonna stop us tonight)
(No one’s ever, no one’s ever gonna stop, no one’s ever gonna stop, no one’s ever gonna stop us tonight)
