Torun Eriksen - Stories lyrics

Could have been a simple task figuring this life out Could have been done research in so many other ways Could have chosen a couple of different questions to ask Spared myself the never ending stories But then again I wouldn't have come across Those who taught me about loss And about not wasting time fearing the \"what ifs\" And so I wouldn't have come to terms With my paranoia for being stood up, for letting Down and not reaching the point of what is Does this sound like something I've said before? Is this somehow familiar to you? Going down the road just to find more beginnings around the bend More stories to go through Alright Getting rid of old-time anger now And it feels like I am alright Alright Putting things back into place And now it does feel like I am alright Would have been a big mistake to stop before I started Would have been the silky smooth but oh so unhappy way Now would have fit right into being The beauty without a beast What is safe if there is nothing to be safe from? Is it protection from something which is created from within? Hide and seek will at some point end with game over And so it's better to come to terms With the fact that you might not win That you might lose But to whom and with whom are you playing? Does this sound like something I've said before? Is this somehow familiar to you? Stories do not disappear just because they are recognized Or admitted true Alright Getting rid of old-time anger now And it feels like I am alright Alright Putting things back into place And now it does feel like I am alright Alright Getting rid of old-time anger now And it feels like I am alright Alright Putting things back into place And now it does feel like I am alright I am alright I am alright
