The Story Songtext
You always knew how hard for me
It was to give you a straight-up apology
But I'm trying right now to give you all that you asked for
Something tells me that I'm wasting time
This affliction is burning through
And all that is me was a part of you
So take your kind words back to the place that you got them
Cause this isn't going anywhere

Tell me right now
You're here somehow
Your eyes were the last thing on my mind tonight

This is how the story goes
We were two kids in lust only trying to take it slow
Part of the reason why I won't ask for you back tonight
And I will be the one who's letting go
As I drive past your house and roll down the windows
Another reason why I will never be alright

We'll be chasing time as it stands still
So come on hurry up and get your fill
Don't ask me cause I won't tell you you're right
Well here we go again
This is the last I'll say to you
And it contains the truth
So please tell me honestly
I was the last thing on your mind tonight

This is how the story goes
We were two kids in lust only trying to take it slow
Part of the reason why I won't ask for you back tonight
And I will be the one who's letting go
As I drive past your house and roll down the windows
Another reason why I will never be alright.

I'll find a way to see you once again
You're the one who knows when I pretend
Why is this so hard?
I'll put a smile on my face as I count the time
Until I'm home again
Then I'll make you mine
You're where I stand.

This is how the story goes
We were two kids in lust only trying to take it slow
Part of the reason why I won't ask for you back tonight
And I will be the one who's letting go
As I drive past your house and roll down the windows
Another reason why I will never be alright.
Tell me right now
You're here somehow.
Your eyes were the last thing on my mind tonight...
