Lyrics

[Verse 1] From the paper umbrellas in both of our drinks To the shadows that walk without us My account of the details is as clear as you'd think Kept up by friends that still ask about us [Chorus] If our lives were a movie, if our lives were a book It'd be longer than I'd recommend Cause if you're telling a story, at some point you stop But stories don't end [Verse 2] The remains of a person, the habits of a ghost You could still find in the places you used to Still reading off cue cards and raising a toast To the stories I still tell about you [Bridge] But the plot line wanders and versions change And I don't know where to quit [Chorus] If I tried to show every side of you through words of a song I'd say a fraction of what I'd intend Cause if you're telling a story, at some point you stop But stories don't end [Verse 3] The next time I see you, and my conscience tells me That the episode has long since been closed But he's not the one that gets up every morning And wonders how long a memory keeps its pose And how much that the man beside you knows And how much of the toll it's taken shows [Bridge] Like a famous singer that lost his voice That we all still want to meet [Chorus] If our lives were a movie, if our lives were a book It'd be longer than I could defend Cause if you're telling a story, at some point you stop But stories don't end Stories don't end [Outro] They go on and on Just someone stops listening
