Lyrics
Just Stories
You're talking about those times we had
Like they were Shangri La days that you adored
Like the meaning of life was so close
But you're just trying to soothe my wounds so raw
There were times when our blood was running hot
Locked on eyes staring at the same dream
Oh yeah hey - you can talk it up - but they're just stories now
Yeah those snap-shots of happy faces - they're just stories now
You and me bathing under stars - they're just stories now.
Yeah I meet you in the street and you smile
You ask me how I'm doing like no wounds disfigure
Your new guy's enhancing life's rich palette
You've needed that so you pulled the trigger
Your hands smooth your pleated skirt
Bet you 've an engagement you're rushing to
I guess he's heard about the good times we had
And that I wasn't quite right for you
