Carry On Lyrics - Singles - Will Champlin

Well I woke up to the sound of silence 

And cries 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 

You swore and said, 

"We are not, 

We are not shining stars." 

This I know, 

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 sinking 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 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 are to me. 

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. 

Whoa! 

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 tonight. 

'Cause here we are 

We are shining stars 

We are invincible 

We are who we are 

On our darkest day 

When we're miles away 

Sun will come 

We will find our way home 

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. 

Oooh. 

Oooh. 

Oooh. 

Oooh. 

(No one's ever gonna stop us tonight) 

(No one's ever, no one's ever gonna stop, no one's ever gonna stop us tonight) 

(No one's ever, no one's ever gonna stop, no one's ever gonna stop, no one's ever gonna stop us tonight)
