They Say

They say

Ashes to ashes

and

Dust to dust

But it ain’t gonna be

That way with us.

Ember to ember

and

flame to flame

Something tells me I’m gonna go out

Screaming your name.

You and me, we didn’t do it

Like all the fairy tales said

You ain’t no white knight

and

I’m no damsel in distress.

They say

Love is patient, and

It’s all you need

But I’m always in a hurry

and

We’ve both got big dreams.

So if you’ll strike the match honey,

I’ll fan the flames

You drive the getaway truck

and

I’ll take the blame.

 

They say

Ashes to ashes

and

Dust to dust

But it ain’t gonna be

That way with us.

 

wild

Many men have told me

I’m the one that got away

So I can’t help but wonder

Why none of them ever asked me

To stay.

Life Story Version 1

There once was a girl from Nowhere.

Mist in her eyes,

Stardust in her hair.

The earth knew her secrets,

The sky buoyed her dreams,

And she was hopelessly-

Desperately-

Caught in between.
