I am the oldest child
Always the first in line
Finding my way across the chasm

No one to show the way
My fingers crossed all day
Asking questions with no answers

If I came to you with nothing
But stories of my life
Would you listen? Could you listen?
Give a moment of your time and
I got through just fine

It took some tears to fall
It took me losing all
To find my way to see a day when I could call it "love"

Running and gaining fast
Kept falling on my ass
Now I know what I’m afraid of

And if I came to you with nothing
But tears and fears of mine
Would you know them? Could you know them?
Give a moment of your time and
If I tell you that I got through just fine

Knowing less and less
Sensing more and more
Blindly I go trusting there is good in store

Got no answers now
Don’t think I ever will
But I hunt them down for the thrill

If I came to you with nothing
But stories of my life
Would you listen? Could you listen?
Give a moment of your time and
And I tell you... if I came to you with nothing

But stories of my life
Would you listen? Could you listen?
Give a moment of your time and
I tell you we’ll get through just fine

Stories of my life...
Uh... Uh... Ah...
If I came to you with nothing
But stories of mine...
