Stories Don't End

Stories Don't End - Dawes

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 it's 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

On Stories don't end

They go on and on

Just someone stops listening

They go on and on
