Rewrite This Story

There's a block on the edge of this town no one talks about

Where the train doesn't stop and the kids know they're not getting out

You live in the loop,

the smokes on the stoop

Counting the coins you got

You work at a bar where all that you are is everything you're not

Someone tell me when

I can start again

And rewrite this story

How long can I stay

Lost without a way to rewrite

I wish I could rewrite this story

Amanda:

Pretty face, pretty voice; pretty much someone they forget

Hard to tell me apart from the ten other girls they just met

"We can't see the hook, we can't sell the look"

I hear it every day

"You won't be a star if you're who you are"

So I just fade away

Make me someone new

Tell me what I do to rewrite this story

Both:

How long can I stay

Lost without a way to rewrite

I wish I could rewrite this story

Change every word of every line

Write any story but mine

Someone tell me when

Can I start again

And rewrite this story

How long can I stay

Lost without a way to rewrite

Rewrite

I wish I could rewrite this story
