[00:00.080]Alvin
[00:00.389]There's gotta be thousands of stories in this head of yours, tom.
[00:04.330]Don’t look for one that isn't there.
[00:07.421](alvin looks around at the mess of papers and books strewn about in thomas’s mind.)
[00:08.336]
[00:09.579]This is it tom
[00:12.507]This is all there is.
[00:16.037]And isn’t it amazing’
[00:20.071]Here we sit, tom.
[00:22.952]Forever tossing branches off a bridge.
[00:27.673]
[00:30.408]Here we’re frozen at ten.
[00:32.921]Here we’re awkward young men.
[00:35.390]And you filed away these memories
[00:38.009]Bit by bit.
[00:39.809]
[00:40.622]Now look again.
[00:42.707]You wanted a story, tom
[00:45.616]Well this,
[00:47.081]All around you,
[00:48.490]This is it.
[00:50.799]
[00:52.985]Admit, tom
[00:55.889]You expected more.
[00:59.867]But isn’t this refreshing’
[01:03.479]This is it, tom.
[01:06.408]Sure, it’s nothing like the picture on the box.
[01:09.936]
[01:11.455]And no secrets exist,
[01:13.917]In some moment you missed,
[01:16.412]Just accept that sometimes pieces
[01:18.891]Might not fit.
[01:22.134]And that’s okay.
[01:23.798]‘Cause all that you needed, tom
[01:26.848]Is here.
[01:28.150]All around you,
[01:29.601]This is it.
[01:30.654]
[01:31.063]Look at them all. Stories about you. Stories about me. Stories about us.
[01:35.242]Just waiting for you to pick them and write them down.
[01:40.456]
[01:42.534]You are a writer.
[01:44.916]Take what you know.
[01:47.420]Here there's a lifetime of moments and details
[01:50.250]Now you make them blossom and grow.
[01:52.874]Find what’s important.
[01:54.427]Thomas
[01:54.607]Find what’s important.
[01:56.020]Alvin
[01:56.207]Help it to thrive.
[01:57.146]Thomas
[01:57.315]Help it to thrive.
[01:58.479]Alvin
[01:58.660]When you rearrange them and tell them
[02:00.612]You keep all our memories and stories alive.
[02:03.575]Thousands of stories
[02:04.953]Thomas
[02:05.113]Thousands of stories
[02:07.966]Both
[02:08.133]Constantly new.
[02:12.619]
[02:13.488]Alvin
[02:13.656]So our stories remain
[02:15.439]Thomas
[02:15.620]Stories remain
[02:17.221]Alvin
[02:17.409]Full of laughter and pain.
[02:19.501]
[02:21.520]Thomas
[02:21.809]Mixed with capra and twain.
[02:25.536]
[02:26.828]Alvin
[02:27.053]Told by you.
[02:31.794]
[02:36.112]You and me, tom
[02:39.746]This is all we get.
[02:45.138]And wasn’t it exciting’
[02:47.959]But don’t you see, tom
[02:51.138]It isn’t really over, after all.
[02:56.599]
[02:58.739]Just like stones in a lake
[03:01.692]And the ripples they make
[03:04.443]Stories carry on through time
[03:06.684]And never quit.
[03:09.488]It’s up to you.
[03:11.738]This isn’t my story now
[03:14.633]It’s yours.
[03:16.375]Look around you.
[03:17.759]This is it.
[03:19.491]
[03:23.177]This is you.
[03:24.442]This is me.
[03:25.956]This is love.
[03:27.877]This is life.
[03:31.752]This is it.
