Well I woke up to the sound of silenced cars
Were cutting like knives in a fist fight
And I found you with a bottle of wine in your head
And the curtains hung hard like the 4th 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
Of closing up 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
Met up with some friends at the edge of the night At a place off 75
And we talked and talked about how our
parents will die All our neighbors 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 but now I don't run these
streets I'm not the ghost you wanted 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,
oh my head is on fire But my legs are fine,
after all I'm right
Lay your clothes down on the floor Close the door,
hold the phone
Show me how No one's ever gonna stop us now
Cause we are,
we are shining stars We are invincible,
we are who we are
On our darkest day, we're a mile away
So we'll come,
we will find our way home
Carry on,
may your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground
