Song: Carry On
Artist: fun.
.
I realize everyone's probably heard this song by now, but it's been stuck in my head since I posted the earlier "carry on" post, and it's still got a good message. Plus I've wanted to post a more upbeat song anyway
.
And if you all happen to get it stuck in your heads, too, well.. That's a sacrifice I'm willing to make
Lyrics:
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 phones,
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
When we’re miles away
So we'll 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
.
(No one's ever gonna stop us now)
(No one's ever, no one's ever gonna stop, no one's ever gonna stop us now)
(No one's ever, no one's ever gonna stop, no one's ever gonna stop, no one's ever gonna stop us now)
