Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time, I was falling in love with you My heart in your hands at the end of the avenue Batting my eyes, tryna play it all cool But you could see through all of that When I was 16, 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 Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Once upon a time, life was an open road Rear-view mirror, another sold-out show Always someplace new to go, but they all blend into one All I could see was all that it couldn't be Felt so bad to be thankless and naïve A hotel room with a beautiful view It didn't matter to me If there was no you If there was no you 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 Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh While the world burns Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh While the world burns Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh While the world burns Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh While the world burns Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh While the world burns Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Once upon a time, I was falling in love with you My heart in your hands at the end of the avenue Batting my eyes, tryna play it all cool But you could see through all of that
