Carry On

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time flies like a plane passing by
Even if we do nothing
It seems we have no time to think
Are you still struggling in the maze?
Did you find the exit already?
Listen, if you close off your heart
The view in front of you will lose its luster in a flash
Don't try to hide your weakness anymore
Show me your true feelings
The candlelight in your heart is flickering weakly
Oh it's about to go out with a strong wind
But who's gonna sing your unfinished song? I know that you won't give up
Carry on
Let your light shine and carry on
Don't forget I'm always by your side
Even if you have bad times now This isn't the time to stop
Carry on
Keep your chin up and carry on
Sadness will surely fade away
Only you can sing your song
I don't wanna hear your last song yet
Hey
Do you remember when we first met?
We didn't know we could look back
I don't ever wanna see your gloomy face again
Tease me with that cheeky grin of yours
And you have to finish your unfinished song I'll be waiting for you
Carry on
Let your light shine and carry on
Don't forget I'm always by your side
Even if you have bad times now
This isn't the time to stop
Carry on
Keep your chin up and carry on
Sadness will surely fade away
Only you can sing your song I don't wanna hear your last song yet
Hey
Do you remember when we first met?
We didn't know we could look back
Hey
Do you remember when we first met?
We didn't know we could look back




We didn't know we could look back
We only knew to look ahead
