Well I woke up to the sound of silence
And cries were cutting like
And I found you with a bottle of wine
Your head in the curtains
And heart like the Fourth of July
We are not shining stars"
I've closed enough windows to know you
Or you're sinking like a stone
May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground
So I met up with some friends
And we talked and talked about
how our parents will die,
All our neighbours and wives
But I like to think I can cheat it all
And it's nice to know when I
I am not the ghost you are to me
Or you're sinking like a stone
May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground
My head is on fire but my legs are fine
Lay your clothes down on the floor
Close the door, hold the phone
Show me how no one's ever gonna
We will find our way home
Or you're sinking like a stone
May your past be the sound
Of your feet upon the ground
(No one's ever gonna stop us
(No one's ever, no one's ever gonna stop, no one's ever
(No one's ever, no one's ever gonna stop,
