Lyrics

If I was to tell you a story Would you keep it to yourself and not tell anybody else? Like you've done before If I was to pass you on a secret Would you lock it up and keep it in a room full of keys So it wouldn't get lost? Well, I was walking down the road one day When I spied a building that had fallen to decay Underneath all the rocks and rubble and memories were Hundreds and billions of forgotten stories So I crawled inside and I gathered them up And I read what they said like anybody would To my surprise they just happened to be A complete mirror image of my life story Do you realise just when you are young You tend to take for granted what everybody's done? Do you realise just when you are young You tend to turn an eye from the things that mean the most Do you realise just when you are young The things you take so seriously mean nothing at all Do you realise just when you are young The stories you recall are the influential sort So I, I went and told you that story Didn't keep it to yourself went and told everybody else To my surprise But I, I didn't let it get me down I don't often take these stories as they clearly seem to sound Because most of the time they're lies Believe it or not I retraced my steps And I carried on walking back to where we first met The stories we shared strewn all over the ground The stories we shared, I wish I'd never found But I knitted them back together Hoping everything would be better And we'd be back together Everything would be fine These things are meant to happen And the evidence not forgotten Everything will be better, everything will be fine Do you realise just when you are young You tend to take for granted what everybody's done? Do you realise just when you are young You tend to turn an eye from the things that mean the most Do you realise just when you are young The things you take so seriously mean nothing at all Do you realise just when you are young The stories you recall are the influential sort Buh buh bah dah dah Buh buh bah dah dah Buh buh bah dah dah Dah dah dah dah Buh buh bah dah dah Buh buh bah dah dah Buh buh bah dah dah Dah dah dah dah
