Where the Story Ends

[Verse 1]

Trying not to lose my head, but I have never been this scared before

Tell you what I'll do instead, lay my body down on the floor

To forget what I've done, silhouette 'til the good Lord come

[Chorus]

All we know is distance

We're close and then we run

Kiss away the difference

I know you hate this one

[Verse 2]

Trying not to lose your own

Boxing up everything you've got

All you ever knew of home

You're scared, scared to see your mother there in the door

You wonder "Where did the years go?"

[Chorus]

All we know is distance

We're close and then we run

Kiss away the difference

I know you hate this one

But this is how the story ends

Or have we just begun?

To kiss away the difference

I know you hate this one

[Bridge]

The violins make no sounds

And I begin to feel the ground

[Chorus]

All we know is distance

We're close and then we run

Kiss away the difference

I know you hate this one

But this is where the story ends

Or have we just begun?

To kiss away the difference

I know you hate this one

[Outro]

Listens till he's twenty

Lasts till twenty-one

Rushing past the window

Like he's watching his own son

Sixty years of sorrow

Brought five or six of bliss

Left my mother's mother

Without so much as a kiss
