A Tale to Tell

Every single news stand on each corner downtown Every little diner you and your mate have ever found There's a story there, a story there, waiting to be told And the story's probably better than yours Every high school drummer who's ever lost the beat And each copy of Frampton Comes Alive at the swap meet There's a story there, a story there, waiting to be told And the story's probably better than yours We've all got a tale to tell before we pass away So maybe we should listen more than we talk these days About every single wristband on every highschool kid Every single parent regretting the things they never did There's a story there, a story there, waiting to be told And the story's probably better than yours We've all got a tale to tell before we pass away So maybe we should listen more than we talk these days We've all got two ears but only one mouth on our face So I'm trying to listen more than I talk these days About each carton of chocolate milk with pictures on the side And how every girl's a bridesmaid but they're never a bride There's a story there, a story there, waiting to be told And the story's probably better than yours
