Everybody's Story

[Verse 1] Somehow you remember details Everybody else forgets Little things people mention Then never bring up again A favorite song A rough week A dream they almost gave up on And somehow that stuff matters [Chorus] Some people hear words Some people hear stories Some people see faces Some people see everything behind them And somehow every conversation Feels a little less lonely When somebody's really listening [Verse 2] A room full of strangers Turns into names Names turn into stories Stories turn into friends And somehow the distance Gets smaller every time Somebody decides To care enough to ask [Chorus] Some people hear words Some people hear stories Some people see faces Some people see everything behind them And somehow every conversation Feels a little less lonely When somebody's really listening [Bridge] Everybody's carrying something Most of it never gets said Sometimes all it takes Is somebody paying attention [Final Chorus] Some people hear words Some people hear stories Some people see faces Some people see whole worlds And somehow the people who listen Change more than they know Just by reminding everybody Their story matters too
