I'm so afraid of the mistakes that I've made Breaking every time that I wake I feel like a cardboard and cut-out man So give me a time when the characters rhyme And the storyline is kind
I've aged an age since the first page I've lived every line that you wrote Take me down, take me down, from the shelf above your head And give me a time when the characters rhyme And the storyline is kind
And if I am left on the shelf like the rest And if the epilogue reads like a sad song Please pick-up your camera and use me again And give me a time when the characters rhyme And the storyline is kind
