Stories Don't End Lyrics - Stories Don't End - Dawes

From the paper umbrellas in both of our drinks 

To the shadows that walk without us 

My account of the details is as clear as you'd think 

Kept up by friends that still ask about us 

If our lives were a movie, if our lives were a book 

It'd be longer than I'd recommend 

'Cause if you're telling a story, at some point you stop 

But stories don't end 

The remains of a person, the habits of a ghost 

You could still find in the places you used to 

Still reading off cue cards and raising a toast 

To the stories I still tell about you

But the plot line wanders and versions change 

And I don't know where to quit 

If I tried to show every side of you through words of a song 

I'd say a fraction of what I'd intend 

'Cause if you're telling a story, at some point you stop 

But stories don't end 

The next time I see you and my conscience tells me 

That the episode has long since been closed 

But he's not the one that gets up every morning 

And wonders how long a memory keeps its pose 

And how much that the man beside you knows 

And how much of the toll it's taken shows 

Like a famous singer that lost his voice 

That we all still want to meet 

Photos 

If our lives were a movie, if our lives were a book 

It'd be longer than I could defend 

'Cause if you're telling a story, at some point you stop 

But stories don't end 

Stories don't end 

They go on and on 

Just someone stops listening
