lyrics

Now that you're here,
I can actually feel the world spin beneath my feet.
Girl, if you believe in love,
Why won't you believe in me?

You came into town like you're not slowing down
And I'll have to find a safe place for my heart
Because I believe when someday comes
That someday will break us apart
And I'll just carry on.

There in the bar, you lit like a spark
But your smile will always burn like a flame.
You burned all the way through the midnight hour
And now all the sweetest ashes remain.

I'll carry on.

I could tell it was time
When all of the neon signs went dim
And left my heart on my sleeve.
I just can't help but think:
If you believe in love
Why won't you believe in me?

I will go, carry on.
