Yellowcard, Natalie Maines - How I Go lyrics
[Yellowcard, Natalie Maines - How I Go lyrics]
I could tell you the wildest of tales
My friend the giant and traveling sails
Tell you all the times that I failed
The years all behind me, the stories exhaled
And I'm drying out, crying out
This isn't how I go
I could tell you of a man not so tall
Who said life's a circus, and so we are small
Tell you of a girl that I saw
I froze in the moment and she changed it all
And I'm drying out, crying out
This isn't how I go hurry now, lay me down
And let these waters flow, flow
Son, I am not everything you
Thought that I would be
But every story I have told is part of me
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
And you keep the air in my lungs
Floating along as a melody comes
And my heart beats like timpani drums
Keeping the time while a symphony strums
And I'm drying out, crying out
This isn't how I go hurry now, lay me down
And let these waters flow flow, flow
Let it flow (Let it flow)
Let it flow (Let it flow)
Son, I am not everything you
Thought that I would be
But every story I have told is part of me
Son, I leave you now but you
Have so much more to do
And every story I have told is part of you
My friend the giant and traveling sails
Tell you all the times that I failed
The years all behind me, the stories exhaled
And I'm drying out, crying out
This isn't how I go
I could tell you of a man not so tall
Who said life's a circus, and so we are small
Tell you of a girl that I saw
I froze in the moment and she changed it all
And I'm drying out, crying out
This isn't how I go hurry now, lay me down
And let these waters flow, flow
Son, I am not everything you
Thought that I would be
But every story I have told is part of me
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
And you keep the air in my lungs
Floating along as a melody comes
And my heart beats like timpani drums
Keeping the time while a symphony strums
And I'm drying out, crying out
This isn't how I go hurry now, lay me down
And let these waters flow flow, flow
Let it flow (Let it flow)
Let it flow (Let it flow)
Son, I am not everything you
Thought that I would be
But every story I have told is part of me
Son, I leave you now but you
Have so much more to do
And every story I have told is part of you
