The Story of Your Life

Now, every story has a writer
Whose life has been inspired
By a love or a desire to get inside
Of the mind of the reader
Or at least get to the next page
And every movie has a part
Where they get to the heart
Of the matter foreshadowing
What might be happening
Whether or not there’s a trapdoor
In the floor of the stage
And so I’m trying to read
'Cause I’m dying to see
Who I will be in the story of your life
And where will I be if you close the book tonight?
Am I the hero or the villain? Is it a history or fiction?
Will I still be here in the end in the story of your life?
In the story of your life
In the novel I’m writing
I’ve decided I’m using the actual identities
Instead of misleading the people I love
'Cause they’re the ones who need it the most
And every chapter is another beginning
And I’m beginning to guess my character’s
In way over his head 'cause of something he said
Or maybe something he wrote
And so I’m trying to read
'Cause I’m dying to see
Who I will be in the story of your life
And where will I be if you close the book tonight?
Am I the hero or the villain? Is it a history or fiction?
Will I still be here in the story of your life?
Tell me, Juliet
Can we make it through this act
Without a tragedy?
Oh, let’s get through this scene
'Cause I’m dying to see
If I will be in the story of your life
Where will I be if you close the book tonight?
Who will I be in the story of your life?
Where will I be if you wrote the book tonight?
Who will I be in the story of your life?
In the story of your life
