How I Go lyrics

I could tell you the wildest of tales

My friend the giant and traveling sails

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

Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh

And 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, flow

Let it flow (Let it flow)

Let it flow (Let it flow)

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
