Lyrics
[Verse 1] Paper Paper cuts and purple pens
Scribble out the logic while the clockwork spins
No one
No one watches where you trip
The concrete doesn't care about a trembling lip
Move
Get going
Keep the gears growing
Dry your eyes and fix your tie
The parade is passing by
[Chorus] The world goes on without you
The world goes on without you
Wave a flag and join the line
Everything is looking fine
The world goes on without you
The world goes on without you
[Post-Chorus] Lada lada da
Keep it moving
Lada lada da
Start improving
[Verse 2] Stumble
Stumble through the supermarket aisles
Faces painted over with those plastic smiles
I cried
I crawled
I called
The pavement never softens when you take a fall
Stop
Just breathing
Leave the heavy grieving
Check the time and check your pulse
Join the rest of us adults
[Chorus] The world goes on without you
The world goes on without you
Wave a flag and join the line
Everything is looking fine
The world goes on without you
The world goes on without you
[Post-Chorus] Lada lada da
Keep it moving
Lada lada da
Start improving
[Bridge] The sun will rise
The sun will set
Without a single regret
The engine hums a happy tune
While we're howling at the moon
Nobody hears
Nobody hears
Nobody hears
[Guitar Solo] [Chorus] The world goes on without you
The world goes on without you
Wave a flag and join the line
Everything is looking fine
The world goes on without you
The world goes on without you
[Outro] Keep on walking
Stop your talking
The carnival is full tonight
Everything is quite alright
Quite alright
Quite alright
Lada lada da
Goodbye
