Carry on
Jake Coco Lyrics

Well I woke up to the sound of silence and cries
I woke up to an eerie quietness but could hear the distressful wails of someone.

Cutting like knives in a fist fight
The cries were so intense and sharp as if it was a violent physical fight.

And I found you with a bottle of wine
I found you drinking wine, probably to ease your pain.

your head in the curtains and heart like the 4th of July
Your mind was buried behind the curtains as your heart exploded with emotional fireworks.

You swore and said we are not, we are not shining stars
You were angry and said that we are not famous and successful as we thought we would be.

This i know, cause i never said we are
I agree with you because I never claimed or believed that we are shining stars.

Though I've never been through hell like that
I haven't faced such a tough situation before.

I've closed enough windows to know you can never look back
I have closed many chapters of my life, and it taught me to never look back and keep moving forward.

If you're lost and alone, or you're sinkin like a stone, Carry on
If you are feeling lost, lonely, or drowning, don't give up and continue to persevere.

May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground
May your past experiences make you strong and help you progress with a firm footstep.

So I met up with some friends at the edge of the night, at a bar off 75
I met some friends during the late hours of the evening at a bar near highway 75.

And we talked and talked about how our parents will die, All our neighbors and wives
We discussed the inevitable death of our parents and the mortality of our loved ones and neighbors.

But i'd like to think I can cheat it all, to make up for the times i've been cheated on
I wish I could somehow escape mortality to make up for the times when life cheated me.

And it's nice to know when i was left for dead, I was found and I know not these streets
I find solace in the fact that when I was abandoned and hopeless, someone came to my rescue, and now I don't feel lost anymore.

I am not the ghost you want to be
I am not the person who is tired of living and wishes to leave this world as a spirit.

My head is on fire, but my legs are fine
My mind is troubled, but physically, I'm okay.

Cause after all, they are mine
My legs belong to me, and I have control over them.

Lay your clothes down on my floor, close the door, hold the phone, show me how, no one's ever gonna stop me tonight
Take your clothes off, come inside, and let's enjoy each other's company. Let's have an intimate moment where nobody can stop us.

Cause we are, we are shining stars
We are indeed successful and popular.

We are invincible, we are who we are
We are confident, unbeatable, and unique individuals.

On our darkest day, when we're miles away, The sun will come, we will find our way home
Even on our hardest day or when we are feeling lost and far away, hope will come and lead us back home.

Carry on carry on
Continue to persevere and keep moving forward.
