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 dancin' 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 carousel 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, don't 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 red-headed girl next door

Or the tax 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 driver's a got a PhD

I'm so tired of the fear

That weighs us down with wrong assumptions

A 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 (Oh, yeah)

See my eyes, don't 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 (Dig deep)

Lift the film and let your true self breathe (Dig deep)

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, don't 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 (Oh, yeah)

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, don't 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
