Intros & Narrators Lyrics
[Intro]
Aye, aye, aye-aye, aye, aye, aye-aye
Ayy, oh-ayy
Aye, aye, aye-aye, aye, aye, aye-aye
Ayy, oh-ayy
[Verse 1]
I never wanted to be main character
Pretty fucked up there in the light
I'd rather sit at the kitchen table, and
Just start to hitchhike
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe to me, other stories are more interesting, and
Maybe to me, they're a mirror back on everything
So much bigger, bolder, braver than I'll ever be, mh-hm
[Chorus]
So take a walk with me through these lives
I'm your friend, your lover, and your traitor
Take a walk with me through my mind
But I'm an unreliable narrator
[Post-Chorus]
(Aye, aye, aye-aye, aye, aye, aye-aye)
(Ayy, oh-ayy) I'm your unreliable narrator
[Verse 2]
There ain't no God up above, just these hounds of love
We've heard every story before
Genius minds, all these fights just to live a life
What's the motive? And what we're here for?
[Pre-Chorus]
David talked about the daily trenches of adult life, but
I'm still hypnotised by the voices inside my mind
When I should sit down, shut up
Listen, just listen, be humble 'round these stories
[Chorus]
Take a walk with me through these lives
I'm your friend, your lover, and your traitor
Take a walk with me through my mind
But I'm an unreliable narrator
[Post-Chorus]
(Aye, aye, aye-aye, aye, aye, aye-aye)
(Ayy, oh-ayy) I'm your unreliable narrator
(Aye, aye, aye-aye, aye, aye, aye-aye) Can you trust me? Do you trust me?
(Ayy, oh-ayy)
[Bridge]
So the cliché says, "History repeats itself"
Well, here we go again
Yeah, the cliché says, "History repeats itself"
Well, here we go again
[Chorus]
Take a walk with me through these lives
I'm your friend, your lover, and your traitor
Take a walk with me through my mind
Never lay your trust in the narrator

Dan Smith:
I always find it’s helpful to introduce people to the world of a record by writing a song that sets the scene and my intentions at the beginning of it. I felt unworthy writing about a lot of the people I’m singing about on this album, and I wanted to tackle that feeling head-on in this t...
