Stories

One troubled night wasn't trouble enough for him
Another swallow never seemed to like enough for him
They say the past is the past but it never treated me like this
He couldn't ask for a better understanding of how
What goes around comes back around twice as fast
He's got no hope for a cure
He puts himself to sleep

But now we just sit back, we sit back
While we watch all of them react
Can you tell me what you tell yourself when the world won't listen
The start to the finish, c'mon and let me hear it, oh
And use up all the time your given
The start to the finish, c'mon and let me hear it go on
Go ahead and tell your stories

She always hoped for him to take her word for word
Never knew what it felt like feeling this unsure
She's got her eyes on the time, but there's no use waiting there for him
Well she's not in the world alone, but she wanted to put herself to sleep

So you tell me what you tell yourself when the world won't listen
The start to the finish, c'mon and let me hear it, oh
And use up all the time your given
The start to the finish, c'mon and let me hear it go on
Go ahead and tell your stories
Your stories
Your stories, oh

Just sit back, we sit back
While we watch all of them react
So you tell me what you tell yourself when the world won't listen
The start to the finish, c'mon and let me hear it, oh
And use up all the time your given
The start to the finish, c'mon and let me hear it go on
So you tell me what you tell yourself when the world won't listen
The start to the finish, c'mon and let me hear it, oh
And use up all the time your given, yeah
Go on and tell your stories
