Written in these walls are the stories that I can't explain
I leave my heart open but it stays right here empty for days
She told me in the morning she don't feel the same about us in her bones
It seems to me that when I die these words will be written on my stone
And I'll be gone, gone tonight
The ground beneath my feet is open wide
The way that I've been holding on too tight
With nothing in between
The story of my life
I take her home
I drive all night to keep her warm
And time... is frozen (the story of, the story of)
The story of my life
I give her hope
I spend her love
Until she's broke
Inside
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)
I tried carrying the weight of the world
But I only have two hands
Hope I get the chance to travel the world
But I don't have any plans
Wish that I could stay forever this young
Not afraid to close my eyes
Life's a game made for everyone
And love is the prize
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost
[x2]
And I'll be waiting for this time to come around
But baby running after you is like chasing the clouds
So wake me up when it's all over/ The story of my life
When I'm wiser and I'm older/ I take her home
All this time I was finding myself/ I drive all night to keep her warm
And I didn't know I was lost/ And time... is frozen (the story of, the story of)
The story of my life
So wake me up when it's all over/ I give her hope
When I'm wiser and I'm older/ I spend her love
All this time I was finding myself/ Until she's broke inside
And I didn't know I was lost/ The story of my life (the story of, the story of)
