[Verse 1] Forest road I lost the map Court was cold All crowns and traps You laughed once and snapped the string Ran barefoot where the robins sing Banished hearts But light feet still Trading rules for roots and hills You said “Love’s a borrowed coat Try it on Then clear your throat” [Chorus] All the world’s a stage tonight We can rewrite every line I’ll be the fool if you’ll be kind Trip on my words You read my mind All the world’s a stage tonight So miss your cue and I won’t mind We’ll change the scene by holding tight All the world’s a stage tonight [Verse 2] She’s a “he” in borrowed clothes Ink-stained hands A freckled nose Teasing “Would you love me still If every vow could bend at will?” Old men preaching Young hearts spin Wolves and clowns as next of kin In this grove of wayward parts Masks fall off and show their scars [Chorus] All the world’s a stage tonight We can rewrite every line I’ll be the fool if you’ll be kind Trip on my words You read my mind All the world’s a stage tonight So miss your cue and I won’t mind We’ll change the scene by holding tight All the world’s a stage tonight [Bridge] We are lovers Liars Friends (hey!) We are exits Fresh entrances Every age inside our eyes Every truth a well-told lie [Chorus] All the world’s a stage tonight We can rewrite every line I’ll be the fool if you’ll be kind Trip on my words You read my mind All the world’s a stage tonight Name your part and I’ll name mine When curtains fall and torches die You’re still my favorite scene in life
