Intro
Verse 1
I could tell you the wildest of tales
My friend the giant and travelling sales
Tell you all the times that I failed
The years all behind me The stories excelled
And I'm drying out Crying out
This isn't how I go
Verse 2
I could tell you of a man not so tall
Who said life's a circus and so we are small
Tell you of a girl that I saw
I froze in the moment and she changed it all
And I'm drying out Crying out
This isn't how I go
Hurry now Lay me down
And let these waters flow...ohhh..oohh..ooooh
Flow...ohhh..oohh..ooooh
Chorus 1
Son I am not everything you thought that I would be
But every story I have told is part of me

Verse 3
And you keep the air in my lungs
Floating along as a melody comes
And my heart beats like timpani drums
Keeping the time while a symphony strums
And I'm drying out Crying out
This isn't how I go
Hurry now Lay me down
And let these waters flow...ohhh..oohh..ooooh
Flow...ohhh..oohh..ooooh
Let it flow...ohhh..oohh..ooooh
Let it flow...ohhh..oohh..ooooh
Acoustic: ---
Chorus 2
Son I am not everything you thought that I would be
But every story I have told is part of me
Son I leave you now but you have so much more to do
And every story I have told is part of you
