Greatest Story Lyrics by Matt Jordan

Low Lights

2024

[Verse 1: Matt Jordan]
Barefoot on the sidewalk
Friend of a friend on a Friday night
Cigarettes over small talk
You had a pack but you were stealin' mine
And drownin' in my jacket
Starin' hazel colored holes through me
For a minute, there we had it
All the makings of a paperback scene
[Pre-Chorus: Matt Jordan]
The stars, the hearts
You had the key, I had the car
[Chorus: Matt Jordan and Kayley Bishop]
Hey hey baby, you can call it
What ya wanna call it
We were two hearts fallin' in
Headfirst, shoulda wrote the end first
Should've rеad in reverse
Had a million copiеs sold
I guess I was just a hand to hold
In the greatest story never told
(Never told, never told)
(Never told, never told)
[Verse 2: Kayley Bishop]
Threw a penny in the fountain
There at the edge of the Delmar line
Said forever 'til we found out
Young love's just a sucker for a good lie
I couldn't tell you when it happened
When the fairytale stalled out
I could've swore it was magic
I could've swore you'd be mine by now
[Pre-Chorus: Matt Jordan and Kayley Bishop]
So long, old friend
You took the paper, I took the pen
[Chorus: Matt Jordan and Kayley Bishop]
Hey hey baby, you can call it
What ya wanna call it
We were two hearts fallin' in
Headfirst, shoulda wrote the end first
Should've read in reverse
Had a million copies sold
I guess I was just a hand to hold
In the greatest story never told
[Bridge: Kayley Bishop and Matt Jordan]
We started strong, but we fell apart
Right at the good part (right at the good part)
Now we're left with what could've been
Should've been will do to a broken heart
[Chorus: Matt Jordan and Kayley Bishop]
Hey hey baby, you can call it
What ya wanna call it
We were two hearts fallin' in
Headfirst, shoulda wrote the end first
Should've read in reverse
Had a million copies sold
I guess I was just a hand to hold
In the greatest story never told
[Outro: Matt Jordan and Kayley Bishop]
Never told, never told
Never told, never told
Never told, never told
Never told, never told
Never told, never told
Never told, never told
Never told, never told
