[Verse 1]

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 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

[Chorus]

If you're lost and alone, or you're sinkin' like a stone

Carry on

May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground

Carry on

Carry on, carry on

[Verse 2]

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 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 for dead

I was found and now I don't roam these streets

I am not the ghost you are to me

[Chorus]

If you're lost and alone, or you're sinkin' like a stone

Carry on

May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground and

Carry on

[Post-Chorus]

Woah, 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

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

'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

[Chorus]

If you're lost and alone, or you're sinkin' like a stone

Carry on

May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground and

Carry on

[Outro]

(No one's ever gonna stop us now)

(No one's ever gonna stop us now)

(No one's ever gonna stop us now)
