Nate Ruess - Carry On lyrics

[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 a bottle of wine Your head in the curtains And heart like the fourth of July [Verse 2] You swore and said We are not We are not shining stars This I know I never said we are [Bridge] Though I've never been through hell like that I've closed enough windows To know you can never look back [Hook] 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 3] 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 [Verse 4] 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 now I don't roam these streets I am not the ghost you want of me [Hook] [Interlude] 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 phone Show me how No one's ever gonna stop us now [Verse 5] Cause we are We are shining stars We are invincible We are who we are On our darkest day When we're miles away So we'll come We will find our way home [Hook] [Outro] No one's ever gonna stop us now
