Tell me a story, tell me a lie
Make it as sweet as a lullaby
I won’t wake up even if I try
Make it something special
‘Cause life is a bore
Fill your story with beauty
That’s hard to ignore
Fill it with perfection
That’s hard to resist
Turn villains to heroes to give it a twist
But no in-betweens, ‘cause they do not exist
Make it as sweet as a lullaby
I won’t wake up, I won’t even try
There should be problems
And puzzles to solve
But right all the wrongs
With some love and resolve
Give meaning to everything
Make it make sense
Your story should be like an intricate dance
With logic and purpose in each single step
So that in the end I will know when to clap
Make it as sweet as a lullaby
If life isn’t like that
Then life is a lie
Make it as sweet as a lullaby
I won’t wake up even if I try
Make it something special
‘Cause life is a bore
Fill your story with beauty
That’s hard to ignore
Fill it with perfection
That’s hard to resist
Turn villains to heroes to give it a twist
But no in-betweens, ‘cause they do not exist
Make it as sweet as a lullaby
I won’t wake up, I won’t even try
There should be problems
And puzzles to solve
But right all the wrongs
With some love and resolve
Give meaning to everything
Make it make sense
Your story should be like an intricate dance
With logic and purpose in each single step
So that in the end I will know when to clap
Make it as sweet as a lullaby
If life isn’t like that
Then life is a lie
