Our Story © Words and Music by Chris Chickering and Greg Barnhill 2012. All rights reserved There are stories We hope will never end That draw us back again, and again Like our story Started out to be A perfect tragedy The girl who needed nothing And the man upon his steed She was so beautiful The night her eyes met mine I must admit that I was blind reason What is this pedestal We put love upon? That sings us like a song We think it takes us somewhere Few have ever gone And hope keeps holdin' on Hope never will give in And just about the time you think you're over it It has a way of reelin’ you back in There are stories Crazy shiny of things Sometimes they are better left for dreams And in our glory We lived a thousand lives And love was free of all condition But in the morning Always comes the light of day Exposes the charade No matter how we fight it The truth won't go away And hope keeps holdin’ on And hope never will give in And just about the time you think you've had enough It doubles back reels you right back in There are stories Way beyond our means Stories that are better left for dreams Hope keeps holdin’ on And hope never will give in Oh and just about the time you think you're over it It has a way of reelin' you back in There are stories Crazy shiny things Stories that are better left for dreams Stories that are better left for dreams Maybe we were better left for dreams
