There's a story we all tell
Bits and pieces of ourselves
Remembrance of the times that stayed
Forgetting that which blows away

While most of all it all rings true
It still holds tight to the lies of youth
The ones that said it'll be okay
If you hold on just one more day

But one day turned into more
Hell-bent to even up the score
Where life must feel we've done it wrong
In all our comings and our goings

Not here to say it's been a breeze
Performing feats with the greatest of ease
Learning trades along the way
In the shape of give and take

A story where we can relate
As we make our merry way
All across life's seams and folds
This story that's so often told

With the friends, life helped us find
Also helped lose some in time
This story we all know so well
With this story about ourselves
