Written in these walls are the stories that I can't explainI leave my heart open but it stays right here empty for daysShe told me in the morning she don't feel the same about us in her bonesIt seems to me that when I die these words will be written on my stone

And I'll be gone gone tonightThe ground beneath my feet is open wideThe way that I’ve been holdin' on too tightWith nothing in between

Chorus:The story of my life I take her homeI drive all night to keep her warm and timeIs frozen (the story of, the story of)The story of my life I give her hopeI spend her love until she's broke insideThe story of my life (the story of, the story of)

Written on these walls are the colors that I can't changeLeave my heart open but it stays right here in its cageI know that in the morningI'll see us in the light upon your earAlthough I am broken, my heart is untamed still

And I'll be gone gone tonightThe fire beneath my feet is burning brightThe way that I’ve been holdin' on so tightWith nothing in between

(Chorus)

And I’ve been waiting for this time to come aroundBut baby running after you is like chasing the clouds

The story of my life I take her homeI drive all night to keep her warm and time is frozenThe story of my life I give her hope (give her hope)I spend her love until she's broke inside (until she's broke inside)The story of my life (the story of, the story of)The story of my lifeThe story of my life (the story of, the story of)The story of my life
