Stories

One troubled night wasn't trouble enough for him
Another swallow never seemed 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
So he put himself to sleep

But now we just sit back, we sit back
While we watch all of them react

So tell me what to tell you when the world won't listen
The start to the finish
Come on and let me hear it
Oh, use up all the time you're given
The start to the finish
Come on 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 tell me what to tell you when the world won't listen
The start to the finish
Come on and let me hear it
Oh, use up all the time you're given
The start to the finish
Come on and let me hear it, go on
Go ahead and tell your stories

But now we just sit back, we sit back
While we watch all of them react

So tell me what to tell you when the world won't listen
The start to the finish
Come on and let me hear it
Oh, use up all the time you're given
The start to the finish
Come on and let me…

Tell me what to tell you when the world won't listen
(the start to the finish, come on and let me hear it)
Oh, use up all the time you're given
Come on, go ahead and tell your stories
