The Story Ends

You’ve come a ways from the midway
10,000 lights by the sea
Your mother cares about your luminous affair
Even though she always set you free

These things that I have tried to keep inside
Fall away just before the story ends

I felt alone in the mirrored dome
You ran back on to the sea
And your father cares about your luminous affair
Even though he always set you free

And for all you know they’ll never let you go
Just before your life is over the story ends
