Dawes - Stories Don't End Lyrics






From the paper umbrellas in both of our drinks
To the shadows that walk without us
My account of the details is as clear as you'd think
Kept up by friends that still ask about us

If our lives were a movie, if our lives were a book
It'd be longer than I'd recommend
'Cause if you're telling a story, at some point you stop
But stories don't end

The remains of a person, the habits of a ghost
You could still find in the places you used to
Still reading off cue cards and raising a toast
To the stories I still tell about you

But the plot line wanders and versions change
And I don't know where to quit

If I tried to show every side of you through words of a song
I'd say a fraction of what I'd intend
'Cause if you're telling a story, at some point you stop
But stories don't end

The next time I see you and my conscience tells me
That the episode has long since been closed
But he's not the one that gets up every morning
And wonders how long a memory keeps its pose
And how much that the man beside you knows
And how much of the toll it's taken shows

Like a famous singer that lost his voice
That we all still want to meet

If our lives were a movie, if our lives were a book
It'd be longer than I could defend
'Cause if you're telling a story, at some point you stop
But stories don't end
Stories don't end

They go on and on
Just someone stops listening

    Dawes - Just Beneath the Surface (Reprise)

    s.... ....

    @ScouseSpartan Yes, that episode brought me here too. Why is this song so mellow, yet mesmerizing? Thanks!

  55. A.... P....

    American Dad and Shazam :D

  56. E.... ....

    The compositions are ok, but it sounds much smoother than their both previous albums. I liked Dawes espacially for their raw sound, and even more for their live recordings on youtube (e.g. the Live in HD songs).
    Hey guys, please go back to your previous producer and release this album again!!

  57. M.... V....

    Can't imagine how this album could get started on a better note

  58. L.... ....

    you couldn't be more wrong... ;)

  59. L.... ....

    I just heard the acoustic version... that one's better in my (maybe not so humble) opinion

  60. Y.... N....

    Goin 2 their concert!!

  61. D.... ....

    I love dawes 3333

  62. O.... L....

    Dawes is an overrated band, the songs are very bland with words that really kind of suck. Singer was great in middle brother though! Dawes doesn't compare remotely to Middle Brother. I don't think he can tell he's so boring in the Dawes!! HONEST OPINION!!

  63. M.... J....

    This band never disappoints me,favorite band:)

  64. J.... F....

    Yes, thank you for putting this up! :)
