We set a fire just to watch it glow
Open our eyes as we move all around it
The ease it came with how we gave in to
What we could hear inside each other asking
When this connection's up we know ourselves
Constant reminders but "Oh how we carry on"
We tell our stories and we grow and age
Recall the fires that once burned in our minds

Here we are
Held open - it's blinding
Roam onwards towards finding

Oh how we carry on
Oh how we forget

Our bodies tired, the debt of our eyes
We give in softly from one to another
But this is different now, from somewhere else
Constant reminders but "Oh how we carry on"
We reach an impasse and feel for the truth
We've left instructions for ourselves from past times
We share our stories and we grow and age
Recall the fires that still burn in our minds

Turn it back
Setting our own clocks
All this time has been our time

Oh how we carry on
Oh how we forget
