lyrics

Under water
Still watching on
Everything moves in slow motion
No power to speak
But I'll hear it all
You make all my decisions
You got all my control

There was a message written on a t-shirt
As she cried in the waiting room
She kept telling him that it didn't hurt
But hope god would take him soon
And it said keep calm and carry on
Keep calm and carry on
It said keep calm and carry on
As god would keep him soon

Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust we burn
Our time is borrowed
We all have to return

I was coming to help you
But I know you're caught between
Giving up or just living our sweetest dreams
But I never saw you
Looking as weak as this
Not like the way you lived
Not like my memories

Your face printed on a t-shirt
Got your picture in my room
Your body may be missing but
I'll be seeing you soon
So i'll keep calm and carry on
Keep calm and carry on
I'll keep calm and carry on
Someday I'll see you soon

Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust we burn
Our time is borrowed
We all have to return

Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust we burn
Our time is borrowed
We all have to return
