Lyrics There Is a Story I Tell About My Life - Stats

There is a story I tell about my life
As if things happen like that
It's got motivations
And explanations
Like it was part of the plan

There is a story I tell about my life
Where one thing leads to another
There's all these dead ends
And I have to pretend
When really I don't just understand

This is why I did it
Anyone could see it
There is an arc that I draw
It curves all around me
A dome that surrounds me
It moves me onward like
One, two, three, four

There is a story I tell
About my life
This is the story I tell
About my life

I had so many jokes
That I could remember
Now I forget them like dreams
I used to tell funny stories
Of disasters and glories
But now I'm not sure what they mean

'Cause I'm a self-made man
And a man-made self
So if it isn't me
Then it must be
Someone else
And there's so much ground
To cover
It's just one thing after another

There is a story I tell
About my life
This is the story I tell
About my life

We all need stories to move us along
To give us some kind of shape
To live
To tell
The tale
To live
To tell
The tale

We all need stories to move us along
To give us some kind of shape
To live
To tell
The tale
To live
Is to tell
The tale

I had so many jokes
That I could remember
Now I forget them like dreams
(We lead to ourself)
'Cause I'm a self-made man
And a man-made self
So if it isn't me
Then it must be
Someone else

There is a story I tell
About my life
This is the story I tell
About my life
