Carry On

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

Woke up late the kettle screaming

Bills stacked like a paper mountain

I love you across the kitchen

You hate the way I leave the light on

Sunlight spills on chipped linoleum

Somehow we laugh about the rent

Small mercies keep me steady

Small mercies keep me sane

[Pre-Chorus]

And the world keeps spinning crazy

Every headline breaks my heart

But your hand finds mine at midnight

And the panic falls apart

[Chorus]

We carry on carry on

Through the beautiful mess of it all

We carry on carry on

We stumble we rise when we fall

Every scar is a story

Every morning a start

We carry on carry on

With hope stitched into our hearts

[Post-Chorus]

Oh-oh oh-oh

Rise when we fall

Oh-oh oh-oh

Hope in our hearts

[Verse 2]

Boss man shouting down the hallway

My sister calls to say she's trying

Neighbor's kid just learned to whistle

Whole block hums a ragged chorus

Anger burns then turns to laughter

Grudges melt like winter snow

Somehow we forgive the hardest

Somehow we begin again

[Pre-Chorus]

And the world keeps spinning crazy

Every worry weighs a ton

But we dance around the living room

Like the battle's already won

[Chorus]

We carry on carry on

Through the beautiful mess of it all

We carry on carry on

We stumble we rise when we fall

Every scar is a story

Every morning a start

We carry on carry on

With hope stitched into our hearts

[Post-Chorus]

Oh-oh oh-oh

Rise when we fall

Oh-oh oh-oh

Hope in our hearts

[Bridge]

Crazy how the light gets in

Crazy how we hold on tight

Crazy how a stranger's kindness

Turns a Tuesday into light

I was low I was lonely

I was ready to give in

Then you whispered something hopeful

And I chose to live again

[Breakdown]

(Chose to live again)

(Chose to live again)

Mm-mm mm-mm

[Chorus]

We carry on carry on

Through the beautiful mess of it all

We carry on carry on

We stumble we rise when we fall

Every scar is a story

Every morning a start

We carry on carry on

With hope stitched into our hearts

[Post-Chorus]

Oh-oh oh-oh

Rise when we fall

Oh-oh oh-oh

Hope in our hearts

Oh-oh oh-oh

Yeah we carry on

Oh-oh oh-oh

Hope in our hearts
