lyrics

Sometimes when I think about it
I don't believe that it's real, and maybe
Just maybe it's not
It all happened so long ago
In a place I barely recall
In a time, a time I've nearly forgot

We ought to write it down in a book
And put it on our shelves
'Cause the past is just a story we tell ourselves

I could make it all fanciful
I could make it seem more cool
I could make sound absolutely divine
I could change the narrative
I could change the way that it ends
I could make our hero work things out just fine

They say that history is written by the winners
And I guess that much is true
Well I guess that for the rest of us losers
We're gonna have to do our best to make do

Sometimes when I think about it
It all seems so vague
Like maybe my whole life is but a dream
And everyone I've ever known is a figment or a ghost
Which means no one is quite what they seem
Through it all I keep pinching myself
To remind me I'm still alive
Maybe I should just relax and float downstream
