The Story Lyrics

The Story lyrics

Well I'm the icing on the cake

I'm the secret ingredient you're missing

Down the sidewalk but not complete

And I'm the reason that, baby you're tripping

On decisions you didn't make

I'm the chance you chose not take

And I'm the one you wish you were kissin'

Pray for clear skies tonight

You better start wishin' 



So you write the title

I'll write the chapters

We could read a story of love gone disaster

You write the moral 

And I'll write the lesson

We could read a love that kept us guessin'



Cause I'm in the question

You are in the reason

Soon this will change

Just like the seasons

My leaves will fall

While you're turning cold

And the colors are on the ground are so bright and so bold

And I'll make no motion

You'll hold me tightly

I'll look at you as you let me down lightly

Oh the story always ends up like this

Another opportunity that you're going to miss



So you write the title

And I'll write the chapters

We could read a story of love gone disaster

You write the moral 

I'll write the lesson

We could read a love that kept us guessin'



Oh but I know you so well

When are you gonna come around

Oh I know you so well

When are you gonna come around,

Oh oh oh 

You want it to be like this

Oh oh oh

I see how it is

Another opportunity that you're going to miss
