[Verse 1] It's been a long time And I find myself wishing maybe I could connect It's been a long night And this service s**s and my message can't be sent All I know I need is you Even if it's just for today Some way you will see A letter leads me back to you [Verse 2] Dear lovely I know it's hard to be this strong I may be gone but not for long I swear It's not like me, To argue over nothing So I apologize ahead of time For what I'll put you through [Pre-Chorus] But I'm afraid of losing the better part of home So can we [Chorus] Work it out, cause it's not quite fair to throw it all away We carry on, we carry on, we carry on With every day [Verse 3] Dear sweetheart I got your letter and it shows The both of us could use some room to grow And it scares me, How easy it's become to fight It's not the way I want to end this night Please call me [Pre-Chorus] Cause I'm afraid of facing living life without you So can we [Chorus] Work it out, cause it's not quite fair to throw it all away We carry on, we carry on, we carry on Give me life, cause you take my breath in every single way We carry on, we carry on, we carry on With every day [Bridge] I dropped my heart And she broke its fall This ale's become an ailment I hope I didn't drop the ball (I dropped my heart And she broke its fall This ale's become an ailment I hope I didn't drop the ball) Call me please, my dear We need to solve this here and now I clutch my phone My heart pounding at the sound (I dropped my heart And she broke its fall This ale's become an ailment I hope I didn't drop the ball) Call me please, my dear We need to solve this here and now I clutch my phone My heart pounding at the sound This is not what I intended at all How can we let this all slip away? You have to understand it's hard I need your touch, but you're just too far "I thought you said you were patient." "I swear that I am." "Why do we have these fights?" "Because I'm scared of the end." It doesn't have to, cause we need each other [Chorus] Work it out, cause it's not quite fair to throw it all away We carry on, we carry on, we carry on (Whoa-oh, oh) Give me life, cause you take my breath in every single way We carry on, we carry on, we carry on With every day [Outro] It's been a long time But we'll carry on just like we did before
