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

The story of my life I take her home
I drive all night to keep her warm and time
Is frozen (the story of, the story of)
The story of my life I give her hope
I spend her love
Until she's broke inside
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)

I tried carrying the weight of the world
But I only have two hands
I hope I get the chance to travel the world
But I don't have any plans
I wish that I could stay forever this young
Not afraid to close my eyes
Life's a game made for everyone
And love is the prize

So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost

So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost

And I've been waiting for this time to come around
But baby running after you
Is like chasing the clouds

So wake me up when it's all over (the story of my life I take her home)
When I'm wiser and I'm older (I drive all night to keep her warm and time)
All this time I was finding myself (is frozen)
And I didn't know I was lost

So wake me up when it's all over (the story of my life I give her hope)
When I'm wiser and I'm older (I spend her love)
All this time I was finding myself (until she's broke inside)
And I didn't know I was lost (the story of my life)

The story of my life I take her home
I drive all night to keep her warm and time
I didn't know I was lost
