From the recording Happy Ending (2016)
This is another of your greatest. It combines so many of your signature elements: the frank and unabashed lyricism; the straight up rock 'n' roll; the personal revelation transforming to wisdom and the declarative, affirming, defiant sentiment. So many great lines: "...walk hand in hand off the pages of books." "I was older and sadder and crazy for you." "There was a lot of stuff I had to do." There is some great poetry in here: "freeze and inflame." "When you walk in the room, I still forget my name." "...not embarrassed nor am I ashamed to profess and produce and predict and proclaim that I am always gonna say your name." - Ethan

Lyrics
When the story is over
I’m going with you
When the fable has ended
Too good to be true
We will walk hand in hand
Off the pages of books
We will laugh when the
Sad people throw dirty looks
I remember when you were
Only twenty-two
I was older and sadder and
And crazy for you
And I knew there was nothing
That I would not do
Just to spend my whole life
Growing closer to you
There was a lot of stuff I had to do
But I swore that I would see it through
You’re a good and a bad girl
You freeze and enflame
When you walk in the room
I still forget my name
And I’m neither embarrassed
Nor am I ashamed
To profess and produce
And predict and proclaim
That’s I’m always gonna say your name
And I know you’re doing the same
I will never let you go
But I will always let you be
And if I ever lock you up in my heart
You know that I will always set you free
So you’ll come running back to me
