Everybody's Got a Story
You walk up to me and say
feel like I know you baby
and then take a sip of your cherry coke
now now who drinks a cherry coke
maybe you're nervous
I see that bead of sweat dancing on your cheek
your words are like cheap champagne
I get the point but it's much too sweet
I'm so tired of the dance
this carousal of superficial conversation gets me nowhere
so you can see my bra underneath my shirt
watch the wind underneath my skirt
but that ain't the picture it's just a part
everybody's got a story that could break your heart
see my eyes dont see what I see
touch my tongue don't know what tastes good to me
it's the human condition that keeps us apart
everybody's got a story that could break your heart
yeah, everybody's got a story that could break your heart
now who can read the mind of the redheaded girl next door
or the taxi driver who just dropped you off
or the or the classmate that you ignore
don't assume everything on the surface is what you see
'cause that classmate just lost her mother
and that taxi drivers got a PHD
I'm so tired of the fear that weighs us down with wrong assumptions
of broken heart's a natural function
so you can see my bra underneath my shirt
watch the wind underneath my skirt
but that ain't the picture it's just a part
everybody's got a story that could break your heart
see my eyes dont see what I see
touch my tongue don't know what tastes good to me
it's the human condition that keeps us apart
everybody's got a story that could break your heart
see my bra underneath my shirt
watch the wind underneath my skirt
but that ain't the picture it's just a part
everybody's got a story that could break your heart
so dig deep dig deep
deeper than the image that you see
lift the veil and let your true self breathe
and show the world the beauty underneath
see my bra underneath my shirt
watch the wind underneath my skirt
but that ain't the picture it's just a part
everybody's got a story that could break your heart
see my eyes dont see what I see
touch my tongue don't know what tastes good to me
it's the human condition that keeps us apart
and everybody's got a story that could break your heart
see my bra underneath my shirt
watch the wind underneath my skirt
but that ain't the picture it's just a part
everybody's got a story that could break your heart
see my eyes dont see what I see
touch my tongue and don't know what tastes good to me
the human condition that keeps us apart
everybody's got a story that could break your heart
that could break your heart baby
everybody's got a story oh yeah
Everybody's Got a Story
