INTRO:
(x4)
VeRSe 1:
Well I woke up to the sound of silence.
The cars were cutting like knives in a fist fight.
and I found you with the 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.
Well 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 sinking 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 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 want of me.
chorus :
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
bridge :
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 is ever going to stop us now.
