Well, I woke up to the sound of silence
The cars outside were cutting like knives in a fistfight
And I found you with a bottle of wine
You head through the curtains and heart like 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 o-o-o-o-on
May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground
Carry o-o-o-o-on
Carry on, Carry on!
So, I met up with some friends at the edge of the night
At a bar of 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 haunt these streets
I am not the ghost that you are to me
If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone
Carry o-o-o-o-on
May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground
Carry o-o-o-o-on
Ohh, 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
'Cause we are, we are shining stars...
We are invincible
We are who we are
On our darkest days
When we're miles away
Sun will some, we will find our way home
If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone
Carry o-o-o-o-on
May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground
Carry o-o-o-o-on
Ohh, ohh
