Margie Songtext
von Heathers

If I (if I) was to tell you a story
Would you keep it to yourself and not tell anybody else
Like you′ve done before?
If I (if I) was to pass you on a secret
Would you lock it up and keep it in a room full of keys
So I wouldn't get lost?

Well I was walking down the road one day
When I spied a building that had fallen to decay
Underneath all the rust and the rubble and memories
Were hundreds of millions of forgotten stories
So I crawled inside and I gathered them up
And I read what they said as anybody would
To my surprise they just happened to be
A complete mirror image of my life story, so


Do you realise just when you are young
You tend to take for granted what everybody′s done?
Do you realise just when you are young
You tend to turn an eye to the things that mean the most?
Do you realise just when you are young
The things you take so seriously mean nothing at all?
Do you realise just when you are young
The stories you recall are the influential sort?

So I (so I) I went and told you that story
You didn't keep it to yourself and then told everybody else
To my surprise
But I (but I) I didn't let it get me down
I don′t often take these stories as they clearly seem to sound
Because most of the time they′re lies

Believe it or not I retraced my steps
And I carried on walking back to where we first met
The stories we shared strewn all over the ground
The stories we shared I wish I never found
But if I glued them back together
I bet everything would be better
And we'd be back together, everything would be fine
These things are meant to happen
And even if it′s not forgotten
And everything will be better, everything will be fine


Do you realise just when you are young
You tend to take for granted what everybody's done?
Do you realise just when you are young
You tend to turn an eye to the things that mean the most?
Do you realise just when you are young
The things you take so seriously mean nothing at all?
Do you realise just when you are young
The stories you recall are the influential sort?
