Brandi Carlile The Story (Saturday Night Live). There is just somethin’ so cool to watch Brandi Carlile jam out on what at first appearance seems to be a smooth ballad. Then just to show off her skills, a little yodeling for the icing on the cake. 

Brandi Carlile The Story Lyrics

All of these lines across my face

Tell you the story of who I am

So many stories of where I’ve been

And how I got to where I am

But these stories don’t mean anything

When you’ve got no one to tell them to

It’s true, I was made for you

I climbed across the mountain tops

Swam all across the ocean blue

I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules

But baby, I broke them all for you

Oh, because even when I was flat broke

You made me feel like a million bucks

You do, and I was made for you

You see the smile that’s on my mouth

It’s hiding the words that don’t come out

And all of my friends who think that I’m blessed

They don’t know my head is a mess

No, they don’t know who I really am

And they don’t know what I’ve been through like you do

And I was made for you

All of these lines across my face

Tell you the story of who I am

So many stories of where I’ve been

And how I got to where I am

Oh, but these stories don’t mean anything

When you’ve got no one to tell them to

It’s true, I was made for you

Oh, yeah, well it’s true that I was made for you
