Verse
The story of the world I live in
Is the one where you live too,
Different streets outside our windows,
Different shades of grey and blue.
You might wake to Sunday church bells,
I might wake to pouring rain,
But somewhere in the quiet morning
We are starting out again.
Pre-Chorus
And all the little things we carry,
All the things we never say,
Make us strangers for a moment,
Then they somehow fall away.
Chorus
‘Cause the world I live in
Is the world you’re living through,
Underneath a different skyline,
Still the same old moon.
We’re just trying to find some meaning,
Trying to make it through,
The story of the world I live in
Is the one where you live too.
Verse
There’s a woman at the station
With her coffee going cold,
There’s a young man chasing something
He was certain he’d been told.
There are lovers in the doorway,
There are goodbyes down the hall,
And a thousand private stories
That don’t look so strange at all.
Pre-Chorus
We put names around our differences,
Draw the lines from me to you,
But the heart has never cared much
For the things we tell it to.
Chorus
‘Cause the world I live in
Is the world you’re living through,
Underneath a different skyline,
Still the same old moon.
We’re just trying to find some meaning,
Trying to make it through,
The story of the world I live in
Is the one where you live too.
Bridge
Maybe I don’t know your language,
Maybe you don’t know my name,
Maybe everything between us
Says that we are not the same.
But we’ve both stood beside a window
Wondering what tomorrow brings,
And we’ve both held on to someone
Like they were everything.
Chorus
So the world I live in
Is the world you’re living through,
Every hope and every heartache,
Every old and something new.
And for all the ways we’re different,
There’s a simple thing that’s true:
The story of the world I live in
Is the one where you live too.
Outro
Different streets outside our windows,
Different shades of grey and blue,
But the story of the world I live in
Is the one where you live too.
