The Story

I wish I could change the story to one where you’re doing well

Chase away your demons and the fiction that they sell

Or find some magic word that would break the spell

I wish I could change the story but it's not mine to tell



We all need a light to shine

And if it worked that way I would give you mine



There's a skinny kid in a photograph and he's shining like a star

I know you'll laugh but to me that's still who you are

I spy with my little eye on the highway in the car

Just to look out and find such different worlds



We all need a light to shine

And if it worked that way I would give you mine



I wish I could change the story to one where you’re doing well

Chase away your demons and the fiction that they sell

Or find some magic word that would finally break the spell

I wish I could change the story but it's not mine to tell
