STORYBOOK

(v1)
Imagine a storybook
The characters in it are dancing and spinning
Nobody is off the hook
No time to look back, cause she already missing

They already had her took
Ran off in the crowd, too loud to listen
They found her in Hollywood
Starred in a movie while making a million and she was good

Missed her call on the road, so she left me a message (said)
I know about you, and I know that your desperate
You want what I got, but i don't think you get it
But I knew what she meant in the moment she said it

(Chorus)
Hey, you know it doesn't matter anyway
It could happen any other day
To any other face, by any other name

(v2)
Spoke a bit longer and then she hung up
Told her good night, and she told me good luck
If I called back, wouldn't dare pick it up
She was gone by the time I was sobering up

Heard in her voice that enough was enough
And it'd be on her mind the next day she woke up
Making amends just wouldn't be us
it was only the road she was destined to love

Remember the kids in the back of the class? (Looking for answers)
To any questions that they happen to ask? (May I be your phantom?)
With a hand on your gun and tears under your mask
Told you a joke and you tried not to laugh (I said)

(Chorus)
Hey, you know it doesn't matter anyway
It could happen any other day
To any other face, by any other name

(v3)
Heard someone call my name
My mind was a million miles away
I turned to see her friendly face
She said, "oh my, you haven't aged."

"Feels like it's only been a day…
The tricks that time could play…"
I said, "Though I look the same,
"Doesn't mean I haven't changed."

She said, "well you've always played the game
But I never knew who you did for,
But there's no here to blame
You knew what you wanted a little bit more

And she told me I was brave
Couldn't wait to see what I had in store
For the day I take that stage
"And they hand you that award, I hope you say…"

(Chorus)
