Carry On
fun. Lyrics

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
The singer wakes up to a chaotic and noisy morning, finding their partner drinking wine with their head in the curtains, feeling a mix of emotions like fireworks on Independence Day.

You swore and said, "We are not" "We are not shining stars" This I know I never said we are
The partner protests that they are not special or exceptional, but the singer never claimed they were.

Though I've never been through hell like that I've closed enough windows to know you can never look back
The singer hasn't experienced extreme hardship, but still knows that you can't dwell on the past and must move forward.

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
The artist encourages anyone struggling to keep going, and to let their past experiences propel them forward.

Carry on, carry on
Repeating the encouragement to keep going.

So I met up with some friends in the edge of the night At a bar off seventy five And we talked and talked about how our parents will die All our neighbors and wives
The singer meets up with friends and discusses heavy topics like mortality and the fragility of relationships.

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
The singer admits to trying to cheat life to make up for past hurts, but is grateful to have been found and not feel like a ghost anymore.

Woah 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 now
The artist is feeling a mix of emotions, but still assertive and in control with their own body. They are ready for intimacy and don't want anything to get in their way.

'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
The artist affirms that they and their partner are special and strong, able to overcome any obstacle and find their way back to each other even in tough times.

(No one's ever gonna stop us now) (No one's ever, no one's ever gonna stop, no one's ever gonna stop us now) (No one's ever, no one's ever gonna stop , no one's ever gonna stop) (No one's ever gonna stop us now)
Repeating the idea that nobody can get in the way of the artist and their partner's love and determination.
