[Verse 1]

It's been a long time

And I find myself wishing maybe I could connect

It's been a long night

And this service sucks and my message can't be sent

All I know, I need, is you

Even if it's just for today

Some way you will see

A letter leads me back to you

[Verse 2]

Dear lovely, I know it's hard to be this strong

I may be gone, but not for long, I swear

It's not like me to argue over nothing

So, I apologize ahead of time

For what I'll put you through

[Pre-Chorus]

But I'm afraid of losing the better part of home

So can we

[Chorus]

Work it out, cause it's not quite fair to throw it all away

We carry on, we carry on, we carry on

With every day

[Verse 3]

Dear sweetheart, I got your letter and it shows

The both of us could use some room to grow

And it scares me, how easy it's become to fight

It's not the way I want to end this night

Please call me

[Pre-Chorus]

Cause I'm afraid of facing living life without you

So can we

[Chorus]

Work it out, cause it's not quite fair to throw it all away

We carry on, we carry on, we carry on

Give me life, cause you take my breath in every single way

We carry on, we carry on, we carry on

With every day

[Bridge]

I dropped my heart and she broke its fall

This ale's become my ailment

I hope I didn't drop the ball

(I dropped my heart and she broke its fall

This ale's become an ailment

I hope I didn't drop the ball)

Call me please, my dear, we need to solve this here and now

I clutch my phone, my heart pounding at the sound

(I dropped my heart and she broke its fall

This ale's become an ailment

I hope I didn't drop the ball)

Call me please, my dear, we need to solve this here and now

I clutch my phone, my heart pounding at the sound

This is not what I intended at all

How can we let this all slip away?

You have to understand, it's hard

I need your touch, but you're just too far

"I thought you said you were patient."

"I swear that I am."

"Why do we have these fights?"

"Because I'm scared of the end."

It doesn't have to, cause we need each other

[Chorus]

Work it out, cause it's not quite fair to throw it all away

We carry on, we carry on, we carry on (Whoa-oh, oh)

Give me life, cause you take my breath in every single way

We carry on, we carry on, we carry on

With every day

[Outro]

It's been a long time

But we'll carry on just like we did before
