Carry On by Fun



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

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

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
