Well I woke up to the sound of silence and cries
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 4th of July
You swore and said we are not
We are not shining stars
This i know
Cause 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 sinkin 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 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 I know not these streets
I am not the ghost you want to be
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
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
My head is on fire, but my legs are fine
Cause after all, they are mine
Lay your clothes down on my floor, close the door, hold the phone
Show me how, no one's ever gonna stop me tonight
Cause we are, we are shining stars
We are invincible, we are who we are
On our darkest day, when we're miles away
The sun will come, we will find our way home
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
