Lyrics: Everybody’s got a story

You walk up to me and say
“Feel like I know you, baby”
And then take a sip of your Cherry Coke
Now, who drinks a Cherry Coke?
Maybe you’re nervous, I see that bead of sweat
Dancing on your cheek
Your words are like cheap champagne
I get the point but it’s much too sweet
I’m so tired of the dance
This carousel of superficial conversation
Gets me nowhere

So you can see my bra underneath my shirt
Watch the wind underneath my skirt
But that ain’t the picture, it’s just a part
Everybody’s got a story that could break your heart
See my eyes don’t see what I see
Touch my tongue don’t know what tastes good to me
It’s the human condition that keeps us apart
Everybody’s got a story that could break your heart

Now, who can read the mind
Of the redheaded girl next door?
Or the taxi driver who just dropped you off?
Or the classmate that you ignore?
Don’t assume everything on the surface is what you see
‘Cause that classmate just lost her mother
And that taxi driver’s got a PHD
I’m so tired of the fear
That weighs us down with wrong assumptions
A broken heart’s a natural function

So you can see my bra underneath my shirt
Watch the wind underneath my skirt
But that ain’t the picture, it’s just a part
Everybody’s got a story that could break your heart
See my eyes don’t see what I see
Touch my tongue don’t know what tastes good to me
It’s the human condition that keeps us apart
Everybody’s got a story that could break your heart

So you can see my bra underneath my shirt
Watch the wind underneath my skirt
But that ain’t the picture, it’s just a part
Everybody’s got a story that could break your heart

So dig deep
Deeper than the image that you see
Lift the veil and let your true self breathe
Show the world the beauty underneath

So you can see my bra underneath my shirt
Watch the wind underneath my skirt
But that ain’t the picture, it’s just a part
Everybody’s got a story that could break your heart
See my eyes don’t see what I see
Touch my tongue don’t know what tastes good to me
It’s the human condition that keeps us apart
Everybody’s got a story that could break your heart
