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 on 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
and a bar of seventy five
and we talked and talked about
how our parents would 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 and now i don't roam the 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 and carry on
oh 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
we are shining stars
we are invincible
we are we are on our darkest day
though 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 and carry on
oh oh oh oh
no one's ever gonna stop us now
never gonna stop
never gonna stop
never gonna stop never gonna
