This is a Story

There was a boy and there was a girl
Staying out late when they should've been home
Standing on top of the supermarket mall
Looking at the stars and feeling their skin
Words coming out they couldn't keep in
Walking for miles just to be together

This is a story, a story about life
I did not understand it until I found you
A story about life
I did not understand it until I found you

Moving to London in a little green car
Flat by the rail tracks and Oyster card
She's sick in the morning
He's always late for his work
Five month old baby and a wedding on the hill
Travelling north, can he pay the bills?
Warm beer on his bread, he wraps his arms around me

This is a story, a story about life
I did not understand it until I found you
A story about life
I did not understand it until I found you

Hard to believe that I'm standing here
Loneliness was always so near
I'm not looking back, I'm staying right here
Hold the present close to your heart
You're squashing my face as I'm trying to sleep
My nose at an angle and it's hard to breathe
I try not to wake you when you're so close to slumber

This is a story, a story about life
I did not understand it until I found you
A story about life
I did not understand it until I found you
This is a story, a story about life
I did not understand it until I found you
A story about life
I did not understand it until I found you
