From the recording HeadSpace
this song came to creation at a time when I had to sever ties with 'friends' who were no good for me as a person. Bandmates, friends, and people I considered family that were choosing to go down a poor path. As I set forth on my own adventure moving to a new state by myself (and my pup Bella) I would remind myself that this will pass, and I just need to carry on.
Lyrics
Every time I turn around, you're someone else now
And I can't keep up with you
A bitter taste left in my mouth, and pain in my guts. Oh well, well I'm stuck with you
Cause I know we lie between rage and serenity, yeah
As time passes us along, we carry on, we carry on
Now and then you're gonna need a friend to help you carry on, to carry on
So don't you believe, the worst parts of you aren't all we've seen
Like when you put your foot to the ground
We know you're serious now
I just smile as you put me on trial
It'll only last a while
Cause I know we lie between rage and serenity, yeah
As time passes us along, we carry on, we carry on
Now and then you're gonna need a friend to help you carry on, to carry on
You've got to carry on, oh yeah. You've got to carry on, oh yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
As time passes us along, we carry on, we carry on
Now and then you're gonna need a friend to help
Carry on, to carry on
It's an attempt to forget the time
And carry on, and carry on
Don't be afraid to hold it tight
To carry on, to carry on
Carry on
