I could tell you the wildest of tales
My friend the giant and traveling sales
Tell you all the times that I failed
The years all behind me the stories exhaled.
And I'm drying out
Crying out
This isn't how I go
I could tell you of a man not so tall
Who said life's a circus and so we are small
Tell you of a girl that I saw
I froze in the moment and she changed it all
And I'm drying out
Crying out
This isn't how I go
Hurry now
Lay me down
And let these waters
Flow, flow
Son I am not everything
You thought that I would be
But every story I have told
Is part of me (Oooooooooh x4)
You keep the air in my lungs
Floating along as a melody comes
And my heart beats like timpani drums
Keeping the time while a symphony strums
And I'm drying out
Crying out
This isn't how I go
Hurry now
Lay me down
And let these waters
Flow…
Flow
Let it flow (LET IT FLOW) x2
Son I am not everything
You thought that I would be
But every story I have told
Is part of me
Son I leave you now but you have so much more to do
And every story I have told is part of you

this is one of my favorite songs on Lights and Sounds... next to Two Weeks From Twenty, that is. And i new this story in this song sounded familiar. I couldn't remember why. Big Fish makes sense. (Great movie. i cried so hard)

hey me and my friend love this song haha, but we never really knew what it was about until today i saw someone's review that it's from the movie the big fish and i watched the trailer for it on the net, and now i CAN totally make sense of the song!! SO thanks kid, whoever you are! I can't wait to watch the movie!! It sounds beautiful. And this song is really touching!
Your grand parents are always the the ones who tell you how bad your parents were and tell awsome stories (like in the song) they are always going to be there for you don't ever treat them badly and when they die don't be depressed I know it doesn't help.
