Tell me stories and tell them all the time
Roll the grass between your fingers
As you play it through your mind
I wasn't there
And I could never be
But the way you speak
Words make me sink
Into your history
The tales that sculpt you
From flesh to human being
Rub my hands across your blue jeans
See you need some comforting
I wouldn't change them
The roots that sturdy you stem
But the words you speak
Words make me sync
Deeper in your love
Day turns night
You and I we lay here listening to time
You and I we lay here riding out our lives
You got secrets
From everyone but me
Even the parts you chose to omit
Are implied only to me
Tell me details
You aren't sure of yourself
But the way you speak
Words make me think
Make me make believe
Tell me stories and tell them all the time
Roll the grass between your fingers
As you play it through your mind
I wasn't there
And I could never be
But the way you speak
Words make me sink
Into your history
Day turns night
You and I we lay here listening to time
You and I we lay here riding out our lives
I love to listen
To your long expired emotions
They don't feel the same
They're pushed away
To keep you sane
I respect that
In fact I do it to
The past can be so bitter
But look how sweet that it makes you
The tales that sculpt you
From flesh to human being
Rub my hands across your blue jeans
See you need some comforting
I wouldn't change them
The roots that sturdy you stem
But the words you speak
Words make me sync
Deeper in your love
Day turns night
You and I we lay here listening to time
You and I we lay here riding out our lives
