The Author Songtext
von Livingston

Darling, I would be the wind behind your sails
I would be the one to tell your tales
I would be the one to hold your secrets
I would be your Earth when all else fails

So if you′re ever scared to jump before me
Take the fear off of your face
'Cause I would be the one to write your story
And I won′t forget a single page

But you could be the author
Oh darling, you could be the author
Oh darling, you could be the author

I'll begin by writing down your name
You and I would be the characters will meet by the 7th page
Suburban drama, picture perfect in the frame
But by the 7th chapter things would never be the same

'Cause, 8th grade we met, it wouldn′t be the last time
This experience, that I meet you in a past life
Heroes in our story save the world like a past time
But the road to happy ending′s ain't a fast line


The epiphany in chapter 22
Recurring demon me, living life without you
Some would call it tragic, but it′s only just a start
'Cause even fate couldn′t keep them apart

Darling, I would be the wind behind your sails
I would be the one to tell your tales
I would be the one to hold your secrets
I would be your Earth when all else fails

So if you're ever scared to jump before me
Take the fear off of your face
′Cause I would be the one to write your story
And I won't forget a single page

But you could be the author
Oh darling, you could be the author
Oh darling, you could be the author

So follow me through the page
Don't pray for perfection
I won′t be the one to save you from all your questions
I still see that you are brave despite the scars you hide
Don′t turn away from the night
Don't you turn away from the night


Darling, I would be the wind behind your sails
I would be the one to tell your tales
I would be the one to hold your secrets
I would be your Earth when all else fails

So if you′re ever scared to jump before me
Take the fear off of your face
'Cause I would be the one to write your story
And I won′t forget a single page

But you could be the author
Oh darling, you could be the author
Oh darling, you could be the author
