Well, I woke up to the sound of silence and criesWere cutting like knives in a fist fightAnd I found you with a bottle of wineYour head in the curtains and heart like the Fourth of July
You swore and said we are notWe are not shining starsThis I know, I never said we areThough I've never been through Hell like thatI've closed enough windows to know you can never look back
If you're lost and alone, or you're sinkin' like a stoneCarry onMay your past be the sound of your feet upon the groundCarry on
Carry on, carry on
So I met up with some friends at the edge of the nightAt a bar off 75And we talked and talked about how our parents will dieAll our neighbors and wives
But I'd like to think I can cheat it allTo make up for the times I've been cheated onAnd it's nice to know when I was left for deadI was found and now I don't roam these streetsI am not the ghost you are to me
If you're lost and alone or you're sinkin' like a stoneCarry onMay your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground, andCarry on
Whoa, my head is on fire, but my legs are fineAfter all, they are mineLay your clothes down on the floorClose the door, hold the phones, show me howNo one's ever gonna stop us now
'Cause we are, we are shining starsWe are invincible, we are who we areOn our darkest day when we're miles awaySo we'll come, we will find our way home
If you're lost and alone or you're sinkin' like a stoneCarry onMay your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground, andCarry on
