Looking for a single thread
A melody to help me get by
While we're passing the time

Is it real?
Does it give too much away?
Is pouring out my heart til you come back
A reason to stay, do you know?

Is this way home?
Is this way

We just stare while the wheels fall off
But everyone seems to carry on, carry on
No time to tell ya how much we lost
'Cause everyone needs to carry on, carry on

Looking for some words to say
There's no familiar faces round here
But the feeling's the same

Is it real?
Does it give to much away?
Is pouring out my heart till you come back
A reason to stay, do you know?

Is this way home?
Is this way

We just stare while the wheels fall off
But everyone seems to carry on, carry on
No time to tell ya how much we lost
'Cause everyone needs to carry on, carry on

Carry on, carry on
Carry on carry on
Carry on, (carry on)
Everyone needs to carry on

The places you know,
The friends that you owe
Somewhere to go
Does it pay to be alone? 
Will I fall?
Is this way home? 
Is this way home? 
Is this way home?

We just stare while the wheels fall off
But everyone seems to carry on, carry on
No time to tell ya how much we lost
'Cause everyone needs to carry on, carry on

Carry on, carry on
Carry on carry on
Carry on, (carry on)
Everyone needs to carry on, carry on

It's the way I feel
Speak up when you know that it's real
It seems like it's taking you over
There's nothing in this world I can't show ya
