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 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 on May your past be the sound Of 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 talked 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 Of 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 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
Give me a second I I need to get my story straight My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the empire state my lover she's waiting for me just across the bar My seats been taken by some sunglasses asking 'bout a scar and I know I gave it to you months ago I know you're trying to forget but between the drinks and subtle things the holes in my apologies you know I'm trying hard to take it back so if by the time the bar closes and you feel like falling down I'll carry you home Tonight We are young So let's set the world on fire We can burn brighter than the sun Tonight we are young so let's set the world on fire we can burn brighter than the sun And I know that I'm not all that you got I guess that I I just thought maybe we could find a ways to fall apart But our friends in back So let's raise a toast Cause I found someone to carry me home Tonight We are young So let's the set the world on fire we can burn brighter than the sun Tonight We are young so let's set the world on fire we can burn brighter than the sun Carry me home tonight Just carry me home tonight Carry me home tonight Just carry me home tonight The moon is on my side I have no reason to run So will someone come and carry me home tonight The angels never arrived but I can hear the choir so will someone come and carry me home Tonight We are young So let's set the world on fire we can burn brighter than the sun Tonight We are young so let's set the world on fire we can burn brighter than the sun So if by the time the bar closes and you feel like falling down I'll carry you home tonight
I set all my regrets on fire Cause I know I'll never take the time To unpack my missteps and call all of our friends I figured they would take your side
I make the bed, just not that well Your name comes up a lot When I talk to my mom Oh, I think she can tell
I was out on the town So I came to your window last night I tried not to throw stones But I wanted to come inside
Now I'm causing a scene Thinking you need a reason to smile Oh no, what have I done There's no one to keep me warm
So maybe I should put a fight I'll call them back and borrow a box knife So I can learn to live with all the stupid shit I've been doing since '99
And I know I could be more clever And I know I could be more strong But I'm waiting for the day you come back and say "Hey, maybe I should change my mind"
I drink a lot I'm not sure if that's new But these days when I wake up from a night I forgot I just wish that it never came true
I was out on the town So I came to your window last night I tried not to throw stones But I wanted to come inside
Now I'm causing a scene Thinking you need a reason to smile Oh no, what have I done There's no one to keep me warm
And I know I could be more clever And I know I could more strong And I know I could be more clever And I know I could be more clever
I knew there'd come a day When all was said and done Everything I was Is everything but gone
All my big mistakes Are bouncing off your wall The bottles never break The sorrow never comes
So come on let me in I will be the sun I will wake you up I am who I was
Just open up your heart Open up your heart Open up your heart
I was out on the town So I came to your window last night I tried not to throw stones But I wanted to come inside
Now I'm causing a scene Thinking you need a reason to smile Oh no, what have I done There's no one to keep me warm
This growing old is getting old I often find myself here thinking About the birds, the boats, and past loves that flew away or started sinking And it's crazy here without you I used to think this all was ours We stay up late debate On how we find our way You say, "It's all up in the stars"
Well, Some nights I rule the world With bar lights and pretty girls But most nights I stay straight And think about my mom, Oh God I miss her so much
And there are people on the street They're coming up to me And they're telling me That they like what I do now And so I tried my best when I took the fall And get back right up and get in your arms If you're out here why do I miss you so much?
I feel like I had it all Back before I lost it all Now I just wait for you to talk to me But you won't even look at me, baby
And I've been saying that you You're always holding onto stars I think they're better from afar Cause no one is going to save us
Oh, and me Well I am fading in the dark So don't you ever kiss me Don't you wish on me Why can't you see That no one's going to save us? Come on, girl
Come on girl So should I or did I I can't believe you'd do those things I just need a helping hand I close my eyes and think about tomorrow It never came true It came true It never came true
And you, you're always holding onto stars You're always holding onto stars Cause no one is going to save us
Oh and you, you're always holding onto stars I think they're better from afar Because no one is going to save us Oh and me, Well I am fading in the dark So don't you ever kiss me Don't you wish on me Why can't you see that No one is going to save us. No one is going to save me.
I'm standing in Brooklyn just waiting for something to happen I can't help but look thinking that everyone doesn't get it
To my left is a window, where did I go? My reflection just blends in, (?) And bad ideas, but ideas nonetheless and so
I put one foot in front of the other one I don't need a new love or a new life Just a better place to die
I put one foot in front of the other one I don't need a new love or a new life Just a better place to die
I happened to stumble upon a chapel last night And I can't help but back up when I think of what happens inside
I got friends locked in boxes, that's no way to live What you're calling a sin, isn't up to them After all, after all I thought we were all your children
But I will die for my own sins, thanks a lot We'll rise up ourselves, thanks for nothing at all So up off the ground, our forefathers are nothing but dust now
I put one foot in front of the other one I don't need a new love or a new life Just a better place to die
I put one foot in front of the other one I don't need a new love or a new life Just a better place to die
Maybe I should learn to shut my mouth I am over 25 And I can't make a name for myself Some nights I break down and cry I'm lucky that my father's still alive He's been fighting all his life And if this I've ever known Maybe his soul live on forever In my song
La-di-da da da da
I put one foot in front of the other one I don't need a new love or a new life Just a better place to die
I put one foot in front of the other one I don't need a new love or a new life Just a better place to die
In front of the other one In front of the other one Just a better place to die
Yeah it's all alright, I guess it's all alright I got nothing left inside of my chest But it's all alright
Yeah it's all alright, I guess it's all alright I got nothing left inside of my chest But it's all alright
Well I got the call as soon as the day hit night As soon as the headlights lit up the west side I stopped the car and came outside Cause I know that tone
I remember the first time We wished upon parallel lines Waiting for a friend to call And say they're still alive
I've given everyone I know A good reason to go I was surprised you stuck around Long enough to figure out
That it's all alright, I guess it's all alright I got nothing left inside of my chest But it's all alright
Yeah it's all alright, I guess it's all alright I got nothing left inside of my chest But it's all alright
And now all my loves have come back to haunt me My regrets, a text sent to taught me I never claimed to be more than a one night stand
And oh, I've given everyone I know A good reason to go But I came back with a belief That everyone I love is gonna leave me
Yeah it's all alright, I guess it's all alright I got nothing left inside of my chest But it's all alright
Yeah it's all alright, I guess it's all alright I got nothing left inside of my chest But it's all alright
And I know, oh no You're falling from the sun Crashing through the clouds I see you burning out
And I know, oh no That I put up a front But maybe just this once Let me keep this one
Yeah it's all alright, I guess it's all alright I got nothing left inside of my chest But it's all alright
Yeah it's all alright, I guess it's all alright I got nothing left inside of my chest But it's all alright
Yeah it's all alright, I guess it's all alright I got nothing left inside of my chest But it's all alright
Yeah it's all alright, I guess it's all alright I got nothing left inside of my chest But it's all alright
I've got enough on my mind That when she pulls me by the hand She hasn't much to hold onto
She's keeping count on her hands One, two, three days that I've been sleeping on my side
I've finished kissing my death So now I head back up the steps Thinking about where I've been
I mean it's always never like this I wanna feel with the seasons I guess it makes sense because my life's become as vapid as A night out in Los Angeles And I just wanna stay in bed
I hold you like I used to You know that I am home So darling if you love me Would you let me know?
Well - go on, go on, go on If you were thinking that the worst is yet to come Why am I the one Always packing all my stuff
For once, for once, for once I've got the feeling that I'm right where I belong Why am I the one Always packing all my stuff?
She got enough on her mind But now she feels no sorrow I let my faith 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 would go wrong
Well - go on, go on, go on If you were thinking that the worst is yet to come Why am I the one Always packing all my stuff
For once, for once, for once I've got 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 And 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)
Well - go on, go on, go on If you were thinking that the worst is yet to come Why am I the one Always packing all my stuff
