Good Story

Walkin' down the street with a bird's eye view
And if you don't mind it, I'll be lookin' at you
Are you famous? Are you sad?
Is there a secret that I can have?

Writin' it down and makin' it real
Skippin' the step where I remember to feel
How does it sound when I say it out loud?
Landin' a plane three feet from the ground

There's no mystery to me
I'm pretty much everythin' you see
I try to pretend you'll never know me
But you know me, it's so easy

Is there anythin' left to protect?
If so, I'll give it away again
How could you ever trust me? There's nothin' above me
I don't care about sacred
If it's a good story for me
If it's a good story for me
If it's a good story

You wouldn't believe it, but once it was true
I couldn't talk and so I couldn't move
Well-behaved child, well-practiced at lyin'
Slept through the night as a baby, no cryin'

I made it out and so I make it up
A self-servin' poet and it isn't enough
Even now, my own words run me out
The verse is too crowded, I can't put it down

There's no mystery to me
I'm pretty much everythin' you see
If I find out that you don't like it
I can write it different, it's so easy

Is there anythin' left to protect?
If so, I'll give it away again
How could you ever trust me? There's nothin' above me
I don't care about sacred
If it's a good story for me
If it's a good story for me
If it's a good story for me

And it's a good story
