Well, I woke up to the sound of silence, the cars were cutting like knives in a fistfight
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, 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
Carry on
So I met up with you
With some friends at the edge of the night
At a bar of 75
And we talked and talked about how our parents would 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 alone
I was found denied on all these trees
I am not the ghost you are to me
If you're lost and alone
No, you're sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground
And carry on
My head is on fire
But my legs are on fire




You'll find after all, they are mine
Lay your clothes down on the floor
Close the door, hold the phone
Show me how, no one's out
We're gonna start watching now
Cause we are the shining stars
We are invincible
We are, we are
All I want is death
All I want to win
So I'll offer you a sign
That we're good
If you're lost in a room
Or you're sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound
Till your feet upon the ground
And carry on
No one's out
We're gonna start watching now
We're gonna start watching now
No one tells, we're gonna stop right now
No one tells, we're gonna stop right now
