Life is a story don't you doubt Bad times give you something to talk about The next time you feel you're all worn out Remember life is a story Don't you doubt It only takes a day for everything to turn around Love is a story they tell to you But the way they tell it ain't quite true You'll wake up one day and you're twenty-two You know love is just a story that they tell to you Love takes a lot of work like everything else you're Gonna do Friends are just the people that you can talk with Somebody to talk about that somebody to talk About this But everyone changes and forever is a myth Friends are just the people that you can talk with A lot of them'll leave but only a few you're gonna Miss School is the place where I did my growing They fill your brain to overflowing They tell you this is all stuff you need to be knowing School is the place where I did my growing Just when I got to like it it was time to be going The world is the place where it all happens They draw lines on it and call it a map In between every line's a different flag flapping The world is the place where it all happens Six billion people all taking turns eating in a napkin Animals are critters just like you and me The only difference is that they don't worry About things that they can't smell or see Animals are critters just like you and me So we buy pants and deodorants and claim not to be Songs are just something to waste your time I listen to yours and you listen to mine Before we know it the day's gone by Songs are just something to waste your time So is everything else to do whatever makes you feel Fine
God's just a story someone made up long ago Before they had books and tv shows I don't believe in him and I ain't afraid to say so You know god's just a story someone made up long Ago But it's hard not to be superstitious despite all you Know Everyone's born and everyone dies Everyone has a time and wonders why The ocean's blue so is the sky Everyone's born and everyone dies The old lady cries, the new baby cries...and sighs Kisses are weird but they can be fun Instead of shaking hands it's like shaking tongues I wish I got to do it more when I was young Kisses are weird but they can be fun I hate going once a month without kissing anyone At this point it's been since uh...how many months 1 2 3 4 5 6...7 I think if kissing someone could make them Pregnant The last person I kissed would have had their kid by Now *snort laugh snort* Dreams are weird but they can be fun too They happen more often than kisses it's true In some I was naked and in some I flew Dreams are weird but they can be fun too I wonder if you're dreaming about me when I'm Dreaming about you Now that you heard everything I said There ain't nothing new inside your head If you want, disregard it all go ahead Now that you've heard everything I said There are probably one or two things you coulda Been doing instead Life is a story don't you doubt Bad times give you something to talk about The next time you feel you're all worn out Remember life is a story Don't you doubt It only takes a day for everything to turn around
