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 excelled 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 oh Flow oh Son I am not everything you thought that I would be But every story I have told is part of me And 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 oh Flow oh Let it flow Let it 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
