Lyrics
Tell Me a 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.
Tell you a story and it starts with time
Moves to how you live and learn how to die
Another phase in this world that brings death to life
So don't believe in everything you see
Because what you want might not be what you need
Hold your breath
Jump with me
And we'll survive
'Cause you are the sun that leads me to the light
Hope is just a ray of what everyone should see
Lone is the street where you found me
Scared of what's behind you
And scared of what's in front
Live with what you have now
And make the best of what's to come
Tell me a story long and true
We aren't what we say
We are what we do
Just pieces of a puzzle to find where we stand
Just confused
So you are the moon that pulls me through the night
Hope is just a ray of what everyone should see
Lone is the street where you found me
Scared of what's behind you
And scared of what's in front
Live with what you have now
And make the best of what's to come
Live with what you have now
And make the best of what's to come
Hope is just a ray of what everyone should see
Lone is the street where you found me
Scared of what's behind you
And scared of what's in front
Live with what you have now
And make the best of what's to come
So you are the sun that leads me
You are the moon that pulls me
You are the light that leads me
You are the moon that pulls me
