Stories Untold

I met her the summer when my life came undone
I was in the pub, avoiding the sun
I had me a job at the BestBuy Store
Where I met all the locals, but not her before

She sat down beside me with a half-honest smile
A stranger with no name, but one unique style
She sat there just staring as I studied her face
Pale blue eyes, small tattoo, piercings all over the place

I asked her for her name, she only gave a smile
I waited for her words, but she stayed quiet for a while
She shook her head no, smiled, and tapped at her mouth
Then lifted a finger and pointed it south

I felt cool in the pub with the music turned loud
With the girl at my side, full of stories untold
I let the music play loud like it wasn't for us
For our ears, for our hearts, for my voice, for us

She sat there beside me with a lie in her smile
A stranger with no voice, but she stayed for a while
Pale skin, jet black hair, a Black Sabbath shirt
A long scar on her leg below a short denim skirt

I wondered what brought her to my world
But she never said a word, just let her silence unfurl
I watched her smile as the night carried on
And wondered where she'd been before she'd come along

She never told me what brought her to town
She just sat there quietly, never making a sound
I watched her sitting there, her eyes looking wild
And wondered what was hidden behind that smile

I felt cool in the pub with the music turned loud
With the girl at my side, full of stories untold
I let the music play loud like it wasn't for us
For our ears, for our hearts, for my voice, for us

A million stories in her eyes
A thousand places left behind
Her eyes could speak a million words
Her smile could tell a thousand more

I felt cool in the pub with the music turned loud
With the girl at my side, full of stories untold
I let the music play loud like it wasn't for us
For our ears, for our hearts, for my voice, for us

She never told me where she'd been
She never told me where she'd go
But every time I hear that song
I think of her and sing along
