Carry On
Carry on
Well I woke up to the sound of silence
The cars 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
Cause I never said we were
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
Or 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 tolked
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 want of me
If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound
Or your feet upon the ground
Carry on
Woah
My head is on fire
But my legs are fine
Cause 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 like 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
This next song is also absolutely phenomenal. It's called Why Am I The One?
Why Am I The One
I got enough on my mind
What when she pulls me by the hand
She hasn't much to hold onto
She's keeping count on her hand
One, Two, Three days
That I been sleeping on my side
I finished kissing my death
So now I head back up the steps
Thinking about where I've been
I mean the sun was never like this
I wanna feel with the season
I guess it makes sense
Cause my life becomes as vapid as a night out in Los Angeles
And I just want to stay in bed
And hold you like I used to
You know that I am home
So darling if you love me
Would you let me know...?
Or go on, go on, go on
If you were thinking that the worst is yet to come
Why am I the one always backing up my stuff
For once, for once, for once
I get the feeling that I'm right where I belong
Why am I the one always packing up my stuff
She got enough on her mind
That she feel no sorry
I let my fate fill the air
So now she's rolling down the window
Never been one to hold on
But I need a last breath
So I ask if she remembers when
She used to come and visit me
We were fools to think that nothing could go wrong
Go on, go on, go on
If you were thinking that the worst is yet to come
Why am I the one always packing up my stuff
For once, for once, for once
I get the feeling that I'm right where I belong
Why am I the one always packing all my stuff
I think I kinda like it but I might have had too much
I'll move back down
To this western town
When they find me out
Make no mistake about it
I'll move back down to this western town
When they find me out make no mistake about it
I'll move back down to this western town...
(Go on, go on, go on, if you were thinking that the worst is yet to come)
Why am I the one always packing up my stuff
Go on, go on, go on, if you were thinking that the worst is yet to come
Why am I the one always packing up my stuff
For once, for once, for once, I get the feeling that I'm right where I belong
Why am I the one always packing up my stuff
I think I kinda like it but I might have had too much
I'll move back down...
And here is the song that I currently have stuck in my head...it's called Some Nights
Some Nights
Some nights I stay up cashing in my bad luck
Some nights I call it a draw
Some nights I wish that my lips could build a castle
Some nights I wish they'd just fall off
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know anymore
This is it, boys, this is war
What are we waiting for?
Why don't we break the rules already?
I was never one to believe the hype - save that for the black and white
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked
But here they come again to jack my style
And that's alright
I found a martyr in my bed tonight
She stops my bones from wondering just who I am, who I am, who I am
Oh who am I? Oh, who am I?
Some nights I wish that this all would end
Cause I could use some friends for a change
And some nights, I'm scared you'll forget me again
Some nights I always win
But I still wake up
I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I still don't know what I stand for
What do I stand for?
What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know
So this is it? I sold my soul for this?
Washed my hands of that for this?
I miss my mom and dad for this?
No.
When I see stars that's all they are
When I hear songs, they sound like this one
So come on
Oh come on
Oh come on
That is it guys, that is all
Five minutes in and I'm bored again
Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands
This is not one for the folks back home;
I'm sorry to leave, mom
I had to go
Who the f*** wants to die alone
All dried up in the desert sun?
My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she called "love"
But when I look into my nephew's eyes...
Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from
Some terrible nights
The other nights, you wouldn't believe the dream
I just had about you and me
I called you up, but we'd both agree
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance...
