2.- Lyrics

Written in these walls are the stories

That I can't explain

I leave my heart open

But it stays right here, empty for days

She told me in the morning

She don't feel the same about us in her bones

It seems to me that when I die

These words will be written on my stone

And I'll be gone, gone tonight

The ground beneath my feet is open wide

The way that I've been holdin' on too tight

With nothing in between

Chorus

The story of my life, I take her home

I drive all night to keep her warm

And time is frozen 

The story of my life, I give her hope

I spend her love

Until she's broke inside

The story of my life 

Written on these walls

Are the colors that I can't change

Leave my heart open

But it stays right here in its cage

I know that in the morning now

I see us in the light upon a hill

Although I am broken

My heart is untamed, still

And I'll be gone, gone tonight

The fire beneath my feet is burning bright

The way that I've been holdin' on so tight

With nothing in between

(Repeat Chorus)

And I've been waiting for this time to come around

But baby running after you

Is like chasing the clouds

(Repeat Chorus)

The story of my life (x4)
