Well I woke up to the sound of silencethe cars were cutting like knives in a fist fightand I found you with a bottle of wineyour head in the curtainsand heart like the Fourth of July
You swore and said"We are notWe are not shining stars"This I knowI never said we are
Though I've never been through hell like thatI've closed enough windowsto know you can never look back
If you're lost and aloneOr you're sinking like a stoneCarry onMay your past be the soundOf your feet upon the groundCarry on
Carry on, carry on
So I met up with some friendsat the edge of the nightAt a bar off 75And we talked and talkedabout how our parents will dieAll our neighbours and wives
But I like to thinkI can cheat it allTo make up for the times I've been cheated onAnd it's nice to knowWhen I was left for deadI was found and now I don't roam these streetsI am not the ghost you want of me
If you're lost and aloneOr you're sinking like a stoneCarry onMay your past be the soundOf your feet upon the groundCarry on
WhoaMy head is on fireBut my legs are fineAfter all they are mineLay your clothes down on the floorClose the doorHold the phoneShow me howNo one’s ever gonna stop us now
Cause we areWe are shining starsWe are invincibleWe are who we areOn our darkest dayWhen we’re miles awaySun will comeWe will find our way home
If you're lost and aloneOr you're sinking like a stoneCarry onMay your past be the soundOf your feet upon the groundCarry on
Carry on, carry on
