Greatest Story

Barefoot on the sidewalk

Friend of a friend on a Friday night

Cigarettes over small talk

You had a pack but you were stealing mine

And drowning in my jacket

Staring hazel colored holes through me

For a minute there we had it

All the makings of a paperback scene

The starts, the hearts

You had the keys, I had the car

Hey, hey baby you can call it what you want to call it

We were two hearts falling in

Headfirst, should\'ve wrote the end first

Should\'ve read in reverse

Had a million copies sold

I guess I was just a hand to hold

In the greatest story never told

We threw a penny in the fountain

There at the end of the Delmar Line

We said forever til we found out

Young love\'s just a sucker for a good lie

I couldn\'t tell you when it happened

When the fairytale stalled out

I could\'ve swore it was magic

I could\'ve swore you\'d be mine by now

So long, old friend

You took the paper, I took the pen

Hey, hey baby you can call it what you want to call it

We were two hearts falling in

Headfirst, should\'ve wrote the end first

Should\'ve read in reverse

Had a million copies sold

I guess I was just a hand to hold

In the greatest story never told

We started strong but we fell apart right at the good part

Now we\'re left with what could\'ve been, should\'ve been will do to a broken heart

Hey, hey baby you can call it what you want to call it

We were two hearts falling in

Headfirst, should\'ve wrote the end first

Should\'ve read in reverse

Had a million copies sold

I guess I was just a hand to hold

In the greatest story never told
