Once Upon a Time

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Once upon a time, I was falling in love with you My heart and your hands at the end of the avenue Batting my eyes, trying to play it all cool But you could see through all of that When I was sixteen, life seemed an endless stream Of romance and chance and movie star beauty queens I tried my best to mold into their extremes I never fit the part [Refrain] Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh [Verse 2] Once upon a time, life was an open road Rear view mirror, another sold out show Always some place new to go But they all blend into onе All I could see was all that it couldn't be Felt so bad to be thanklеss and naive A hotel room with a beautiful view What did it matter to me? [Refrain] If there was no You-ooh If there was no You-ooh [Bridge] And maybe when I'm older I can put it all to rest So afraid of growing bitter Like what the hell did I expect? While the world burns (While the world burns) While the world burns (While the world burns) While the world burns While the world burns [Outro] Once upon a time, I was falling in love with you My heart and your hands at the end of the avenue Batting my eyes, trying to play it all cool But you could see through all of that
