How I Go

I could tell you the wildest of tales My friend, the giant and traveling sales 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 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 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
