How I Go (Acoustic) Songtext / Lyric

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
