True 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.
This won't be easy
I'm trying to explain
The way our lives change
Right before our eyes
You're alone above a silver lake
And then, so help me God
He's right beside you on a sauropod
What's the use?
You will believe me when
You take that ride
Down by the riverside
and sit under that bridge
And you tell him everything
Go on, confess your past
Oh God, I hope this lasts
Because I know it heals
And you find forgiveness
And you find tenderness
I don't know if you're gonna believe this
But you don't even kiss
And if it were up to me
And if it were up to you
This story would be too good to be true
Thank you for another day
For just another chance to say
I'll spend my whole life through
Just exploring you
Thank you for another day
Just another chance to say
I love you more and more and more
Than I did the day before
And f it were up to me
And if it were up to you
This story would be too good too good too good to be true
Too good
Too good
This story would be too good to be true
Too good to be true
Too good to be true
Too good to be true
