Carry On (We'll Be Here When You Get Back) Songtext
von Polite Fiction

Maybe this time you′re right
Maybe this time it all works out
Since 4:30 that night
It's all you′ve talked about

They say everybody gets their shot
And you don't want to be left out
Take your time, take it off, take a bow
But know that we all have our doubts

And when you go
Hope you find your way around the sound
The echo of your beating heart
And we'll all say
Carry on, nous attendons ton retour

You can pretend that you know it all
The world condensed
A volume on your shelf
But we know when push comes shove
You′ll be on your knees and crawling back


How lonely it must be, sitting at the top
The city lights beneath you, a temporary stop
On your way to riches, fame
And all the things we′re not
Conjure all the friends you like
'Cause they don′t mean a lot

They say everybody gets caught up
In always wanting more
Take your time, take it off, take a bow
But know that we're all keeping score

And when you go
Hope you find your way around the sound
The echo of your beating heart
And we′ll all say
Carry on, nous attendons ton retour

You can pretend that you know it all
The world condensed
A volume on your shelf
But we know when push comes shove
You'll be on your knees and crawling back

(And when you)
(And we′ll all say)
(You can pretend)


And when you go
Hope you find your way around the sound
The echo of your beating heart
And we'll all say
Carry on, nous attendons ton retour

You can pretend that you know it all
The world condensed
A volume on your shelf
But we know when push comes shove
You'll be on your knees and crawling back

And when you go
Hope you find your way around the sound
The echo of your beating heart
And we′ll all say
Carry on, we′ll be here when you get back

You can pretend that you know it all
The world condensed
A volume on your shelf
But we know when push comes shove
You'll be on your knees and crawling back
