The Simple Story
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Jane :
The little thoughts came rushing in
While I watched for a sign from him
When all the while was clear as day
That I should go and he should stay
Feist :
I look his love like it was mine
I squeezed the truth until it lied
It took some time for cracks to show
Should I stay or should he go?
Jane :
The simple story that you told me
Is a little different from what you showed me
The simple story, unfurling slowly
Is if you lay down with a dream
You'll wake up lonely
Feist :
The fog will cast a certain shade
So what you see is how what's made
it's mark will show you what to do
When hope pretends it's made you new
Love lied love lied but I'm the reason
Love lied
Jane :
The simple story that you told me
Is a little different from what you showed me
Feist :
The sky wraps round the mountaintops
Jane :
The watch unwinds until it stops
Some things will always be the way they are
Feist :
And that is how they'll stay
Jane :
The simple story that you told me
Is a little different from what you showed me
The simple story, unfurling slowly
Is if you lay down with a dream
You'll wake up lonely
