Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I hope I'm not the story of your life
That's so familiar
Things aren't going right
The bookmark chapter in a life of many sorrows
The harbinger to all of your tomorrows
that follows you and tells you
Hope is always fleeting
The ones that sees your victories
ensuring they're defeated
If life is just one reckoning
I hope I'm not the story of your life
[Verse 2]
I hope you don't look back with dismay
Covering your sunshine with darkened clouds of grey
With every page a theme
always re-occurring
Plot so predictable
Almost reassuring
Moments that define
The pages of your story
Common theme to your life's allegory
Happiness is beckoning
I hope I'm not the story of your life
[Guitar Solo]
[verse]
If I have to be the story of your life
I'd like to think I'm your Swiss Army knife
with many tools you never knew existed
That makes life easier
Going unassisted
I'll be your book your travel guide
Your reference your humour
your best defense from any sort
Of ill-intended rumours
Embracing your epiphanies
Celebrating glory
that could be the story of your life
