At 17 she left Long Island bound for Hollywood   Another story like the ones you've heard before   He left her broken like you figured, like you knew he would   She shut her heart after his ring rang off the door      It's the story of your life you're tearing out the page   New chapter underway   The story of your life, you live it everyday   You can run, you run but you won't get away      I don't know what's coming up   Where will you go now?   It's the story of your life      She hit the ground, she built a fine career   Every weekend walked her dog beside the sea   In the salt she met a man who knew at once but wait   Is he the one we need him to be?      In the story your life, you're moving down the page   As the words begin to change   The story of your life, you live it everyday   You can run, you run but you won't get away      I don't know what's coming up   Where will you go now?   It's the story of your life      Look around look around and the world will find you   Look around look around and the world will find you   Look around look around and the world will find you      There's a reason that we live so far from Hollywood   In the country looking hard to find a home   We're nothing perfect all considered but we're so damn good      It's the story of your life, you're moving down the page   And you know you're on your way   The story of your life, you live it everyday   You can run, you run but you won't get away      No one knows what's coming up   Where will you go now?   It's the story, it's your story   It's the story of your life
