The Story
[00:07.13] Let me tell you a story
[00:09.88] About a boy and a girl
[00:13.37] It's kinda short, kinda boring
[00:17.11] But the end is a whirl
[00:20.89] They were just sixteen
[00:22.63] When the people were mean
[00:24.14] So they didn't love themselves
[00:27.63] And now they're gone
[00:30.66] Headstones on a lawn
[00:34.12] And when I was younger
[00:36.87] I knew a boy and a boy
[00:40.66] Best friends with each other
[00:44.11] But always wished they were more
[00:47.62] 'Cause they loved one other
[00:49.88] But never discovered
[00:52.39] 'Cause they were too afraid
[00:54.89] Of what they'd say
[00:57.37] Moved to different states
[01:01.13] Oh, and I'm afraid that's just the way the world works
[01:07.88] It ain't funny, it ain't pretty, it ain't sweet
[01:14.65] Oh, and I'm afraid that's just the way the world works
[01:21.12] But I think that it could work for you and me
[01:27.65] Just wait and see
[01:34.62] It's not the end of the story
[01:42.39] Now it's on to the sequel
[01:44.61] About me and my friend
[01:47.85] Both our parents were evil
[01:51.39] So we both made a bet
[01:55.65] If we worked and we saved
[01:56.87] We could both run away
[01:58.64] And we'd have a better life
[02:01.88] And I was right
[02:04.88] I wonder if she's alright
[02:08.66] Oh, and I'm afraid that's just the way the world works
[02:15.38] It ain't funny, it ain't pretty, it ain't sweet
[02:22.10] Oh, and I'm afraid that's just the way the world works
[02:28.64] But I think that it could work for you and me
[02:35.38] Just wait and see
[02:41.63] It's not the end of the story
[02:53.12] And the movie's always running in my head
[02:59.36] All the people, all the lovers, all my friends
[03:05.87] And I hope that they all get their happy end
[03:12.64] In the end
[03:16.35] Oh, and I'm afraid that's just the way the world works
[03:22.87] It ain't funny, it ain't pretty, it ain't sweet
[03:29.86] Oh, and I'm afraid that's just the way the world works
[03:36.64] But I think that it could work for you and me
[03:44.13] Just wait and see
[03:50.13] It's not the end of the story
