Songs for the Philippines - Carry On Lyrics
Well I woke up to the sound of silenceAnd cries were cutting like knives in a fist fightAnd I found you with a bottle of wineYour head in the curtainsAnd heart like the Fourth of JulyYou swore and said,"We are not,We are not shining stars."This I know,I never said we areThough I've never been through hell like thatI've closed enough windows to know you can never look backIf you're lost and aloneOr you're sinking like a stone.Carry on.May your past be the soundOf your feet upon the ground.Carry on.Carry on, carry onSo I met up with some friends at the edge of the nightAt 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 allTo make up for the times I've been cheated on.And it's nice to know when I was left for deadI was found and now I don't roam these streets,I am not the ghost you are to me.If you're lost and aloneOr you're sinking like a stone.Carry on.May your past be the soundOf 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 phone,Show me how no one’s ever gonna stop us tonight.'Cause here we areWe are shining starsWe are invincibleWe are who we areOn our darkest dayWhen we’re miles awaySun will comeWe will find our way homeIf you're lost and aloneOr you're sinking like a stone.Carry on.May your past be the soundOf your feet upon the ground.Carry on.Oooh.Oooh.Oooh.Oooh.(No one's ever gonna stop us tonight)(No one's ever, no one's ever gonna stop, no one's ever gonna stop us tonight)(No one's ever, no one's ever gonna stop, no one's ever gonna stop, no one's ever gonna stop us tonight)
