Once Upon A Time

A hundred miles away The distance growing wider with each day In my cushy tower, skies are grey Until you set me free Sweet and strong and wild Charming as the prince himself and I'll Count down all the days and all the miles Until I get to see that smile Stranded in the middle of nowhere Waiting for a lonely feeling cure Wasting, hating all of my daydreams Cuz fantasy won't cut it anymore So wave your magic wand And point me to the star to wish upon I'll be home by midnight if that's what it takes Foot off the brakes It's time to start riding I'll fight all the dragons if it'll up the stakes I'm over the wait Cupid's arrow start flying I don't need a happy ever after Just a once upon a time Picturing your eyes While singing about what I hope to find Every song's a movie in my mind And baby, you're the star And if you leave a scar Scars mean that I've healed And been through something real So wave your magic wand And point me to the star to wish upon I'll be home by midnight if that's what it takes Foot off the brakes It's time to start riding I'll fight all the dragons if it'll up the stakes I'm over the wait Cupid's arrow start flying I don't need a happy ever after Just a once upon a time So maybe there's no magic wand There never was a star to wish upon I come home at midnight and everything's the same And all of the fairytales fade away
