Outer Space / Carry On (Live from The Royal Albert Hall) Lyrics

[Intro: Ashton]
One, two, three

[Part 1: Outer Space]

[Intro]
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 1: Luke, All]
I can still taste the ocean like it was today
You said, "Please, keep on holdin' your hand"
And the rain, it came too soon, I will wait for you
To love me again

[Chorus: All]
I guess I was runnin' from somethin'
I was running back to you
Lost here in London with nothin'
I'm still runnin' back to you
If you could love me again
I could let go of everythin'

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 2: Luke, All]
If I was an island in search of castaways
Maybe I'll find you (I'll find you) here
And the rain, it came too soon, I will wait for you
To love me again

[Chorus: All]
I guess I was runnin' from somethin'
I was running back to you
Lost here in London with nothin'
I'm still runnin' back to you
If you could love me again
I could let go of everythin'

[Bridge: All, Luke, Michael, Calum]
(Sing it) The darkest night never felt so bright with you by my side
(Go) The darkest night never felt so bright with you by my side
The darkest night never felt so bright with you by my side
The darkest night never felt so bright with you by my side
There's nothing like the rain, nothin' like the rain (Woah, woah)
When you're in outer space, when you're in outer space (Woah, woah, woah)
There's nothing like the rain, nothing like the rain (Woah, woah)
When you're in outer space, when you're in outer space (Woah, woah, woah)
There's nothin' like the rain, nothing like the rain (Woah, woah)
When you're in outer space, when you're in outer space (Woah, woah, woah)
There's nothing like the rain, nothing like the rain (Woah, woah)
When you're in outer space, when you're in outer space (Woah, woah, woah)
Love me like you did, love me like you did (Woah, woah)
I'll give you anything, I'll give you anything (Woah, woah, woah)
Love me like you did, love me like you did (Woah, woah)
I'll give you anythin', I'll give you anything (Woah, woah)
[Part 2: Carry On]

[Verse 1: Luke, All, Ashton]
Carry on, let the good times roll
Sail on, let your path unfold
And it won't be long, won't be long, won't be long
You know it's gonna get better
You know it's gonna get better
Say a prayer for the broken bones
'Cause who cares? We're all going home
And it won't be long,
won't be long, won't be long
You know it's gonna get better
You know it's gonna get better
(Hey, hey)

[Bridge: Luke, All]
I got one foot in the golden life, one foot in the gutter
So close to the other side, so far from the wonder
I got one foot in the golden life, one foot in the gutter
So sick of the tug of war that keeps pulling me under


[Chorus: All]
Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll

[Verse 2: Luke, All]
Carry on, outlast the ignorance
Movin' on, survive the innocence
And it won't be long, won't be long, won't be long
You know it's gonna get better
[Outro: Michael, Luke]
How's Gospel Choir, ladies and gentlemen?
This has been the most incredible month of our lives, sort of putting this together and being able to release a new album, 5SOS5, which is so just incredible and special to us, you have no idea
There's a part of me that, that lives within this band and there's also a part of me that lives within every single one of you because you really are, you know, the reason why we're doing any of this, this is because of people like you and, you know, people who are watching us, and just... I don't know
I'm, I'm a little overwhelmed, to be honest
You're telling me that you didn't have that written down and you didn't rehearse that speech?
I didn't. I'm spilling my guts, I'm just spilling my guts
I feel like, not to be too deep or sentimental, but, you know, we got a choir, we got an orchestra, let's just send it, you know?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did 5 Seconds of Summer say about "Outer Space / Carry On (Live from The Royal Albert Hall)"?
Genius Answer

We’ve played it live before, but not like this […] it really leveled up. That’s a song we don’t ever play live and we probably won’t ever again because we won’t play be able to play it as good as we did at the show.
