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 sinkin' like a stone, Carry on. May your path be the sound of your feet upon the ground. Carry on. Carry on, carry on. Verse 2: 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 neighbors and wives. Pre-chorus: But I'd 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 I don't roam these streets. I am not the ghost you are to me.

Lay your clothes down on the floor, close the door, hold the phone, Show me how. No one's ever gonna stop us now.
