Page One

Page one, it's just the prologue
Setting the stage for all that's to happen
Then on to the first chapter
Everyone's happy, foreshadowing impending disaster
Then girl meets boy, it's awkward, confusing
Can't tell if it's love or it's hate
When hands graze
Reaching for something forgettably dull and mundane

Now it's a love story of epic proportion
The likes of which never's been told
Two hearts beating as one
Run right into the Sun
Oh, what would I give to go back

Act two, she's in the deep end
Struggling for air cuts over the weekend
Wide out, unusually quiet
Now the whole plot is unraveling in radio silence
As girl breaks down, convinced of her story
Penned by the ghost of her pain
A tall tale, a pure work of fiction
A page-turning ode to heartbreak

Now it's a love story of epic proportion
The likes of which never's been told
When a yarn perfectly spun
What's done can't be undone
Oh, what would I give to go back to page one

And just pretend
None of it happened
Then we could just be friends
Spare myself of this ache
How could anyone dare to love again?
I'm raisin' my walls
So I never fall
Into another

Love story of epic proportion
The likes of which never's been told
Two hearts beating as one
Run right into the Sun
Oh, what would I give to go back
Back to page one
