Story (Of You And I)

Verse 1

The sun is down, the city's just a rumor

I'm in the room, but the walls are getting thinner

They watch me move, they analyze my dinner

A king is just a pawn when the game gets thinner

I gave my all, they wanted more, they took a piece of me

A walking target, for the world to see

They print the lies, they sell the doubt, they call it news

Another story, another soul they'll use... hee-hee!

Pre-Chorus

So I build my walls up to the sky

A fortress where the truth can't lie

But through the crack, I see your eyes

A single truth within the lies...

Chorus

You are the story that they'll never write!

The secret garden in the dead of night!

Through all the noise, through all the pain,

Your love's the only thing that keeps me sane!

They want a story, I'll give them one!

But this chapter's over, it's said and done!

This ain't a headline, this ain't a lie!

This is the story of you and I!

Verse 2

They want a quote, they want a little soundbite

To twist and turn and start a brand new firefight

They tap the phones, they're hiding in the shadows

A modern-day Julius, before the final battle

But you were there, before the world was screaming

You saw the man, not just the crazy dreaming

You held my hand when all the cameras flashed

You are the anchor when the ship is crashed... shamone!

Pre-Chorus

So let them talk, let the rumors fly

They'll never reach us, you and I

We're in a place that they can't see

Where the story is just you and me...

Chorus

You are the story that they'll never write!

The secret garden in the dead of night! (Hoo-hoo!)

Through all the noise, through all the pain, (Pain!)

Your love's the only thing that keeps me sane! (Sane!)

They want a story, I'll give them one! (Give it to 'em!)

But this chapter's over, it's said and done! (Done!)

This ain't a headline, this ain't a lie!

This is the story of you and I!

Bridge

What is a legacy? Is it just what they perceive?

A trail of tabloids that I have to leave?

Or is it something real, a truth I get to choose?

Is it a victory, or just another thing to lose?

I look at you, and I don't have to guess...

You are the answer, you are the test...

And I'd trade it all, the fame, the crown, the throne...

Just to hear you say... "You're not alone."

...You're not alone.

Solo

Chorus

You are the story that they'll never write! (Never write!)

The secret garden in the dead of night! (Dead of night!)

Through all the noise, through all the pain, (All the pain!)

Your love's the only thing that keeps me sane! (Keeps me sane!)

They want a story, I'll give them one! (Give them one!)

But this chapter's over, it's said and done! (Said and done!)

This ain't a headline, this ain't a lie!

This is the story of you and I!

Outro

You and I... (hee-hee!)

You and I...

The story...

The story of you and I...

In the dead of night...

Shamone...

Aow!
