Off Cue (Book)

Well let me put it this way 
If you read 2 chapters of a book 
You can't hope to really know the plot 
 
So if you don't let anyone read you 
How can you expect someone 
To get your story 
 
Words say my next step 
Is this truth or fiction 
Words mark my way 
Seems like there's way too much friction 
I guess I'll have to drop that line 
Cause I'm off cue 
I'll be fine 
 
I like to think I'm an open book 
But sometimes I think I divert 
To fiction to detract from my bio 
 
Cause, oh Lord, sometimes it takes too long 
To read the whole book 
And it gets longer every day 
 
Words say my next step 
Is this truth or fiction 
Words mark my way 
Seems like there's way too much friction 
I guess I'll have to drop that line 
Cause I'm off cue 
I'll be fine 
 
I don't even recognize the main character 
But only at times 
There's glimpses in clips and phrases 
As I look back on old scripts 
 
Evening's past 
One's heart can become too entwined 
As a wise man said 
Don't awaken love until it so desires 
 
Dusty paths walked down 
Talks that last till 3am 
Sitting alone even in a crowded room 
Stars shared that make you feel so small 
 
Words say my next step 
Is this truth or fiction 
Words mark my way 
Seems like there's way too much friction 
I guess I'll have to drop that line 
Cause I'm off cue 
I'll be fine 
 
All these chapters must add up 
To some kind of happy ending 
Cause what kind of story finishes so flat 
 
That's why there's hope in the 11th hour 
Cause ya gotta know pieces will fit together 
And a conclusion will finish this part of the story 
 
Maybe I jumped the gun 
This is no conclusion 
This just sets the final conflict 
In this story 
 
And the final words 
Don't know if I'm telling myself 
Of if this is from you 

What's past is past 
Please just trust me 
And I trust your eyes 
But I don't trust mine 

It's okay you tell me 
I know you've failed 
You touch my shoulder
I'll help you walk through
This final part

Words say my next step 
Is this truth or fiction 
Words mark my way 
Seems like there's way too much friction 
I decide to drop my line 
Cause I'm off cue 
I'll be fine  
 
Is this truth or fiction 
Words mark my way 
There's on final thing to say 
I'll have to drop my line 
I'll be fine
