[Intro]
Once upon a goodbye dream

[Verse 1]
City lights and sirens
Chilly nights, petty fights between my friends and I
Sick of living on the fly
Still probably stricken by the fact that I'm so damn high
I feel the envy, I feel the urge to pretend
Be a self-important Sinderella: 'til the morning, envy
Is it all a waste of time?
Lots of pieces in my pocket as I chase the lines to reap between
Besides you guys seem to think that I'm
Trying to redefine what it means to rhyme
Maybe I just like to write, please go mind your own business
Find where I'm at, resign
Cheap, but 'til the glass slipper outgrows me
I'll keep tossin' words back quick as they're thrown me
I'd rather disown me than die old and lonely
So the story goes, the one they sold me

[Pre-Chorus]
A tragic tale say it feels fine
No magic spell heals time
Staring deep inside and I can't hold back (Say it feels fine)
Can't believe I fell so far off track
Look at the film reels, burn the cinema down
Give up the giving and drown; let's stick around (Rewind)
[Chorus]
No right wish I could make
For every selfish mistake
Heartbreak, jealousy, lasting past the high
A thousand lives that passed me by (Oh)

Still, time lets me escape
Before the future takes shape
I'll rip the sutures of undesirable fate
Somewhere beyond the darkened ocean
Stars I'll reach soon dance along the waves

[Post-Chorus]
Stay bright, take flight
Dance beyond midnight
Stay bright, take flight
Just might dance along the waves

[Verse 2]
When the fairytale is through
The villains outta fail 'cause they all do
Imaginary same old me versus you
In a moment of weakness, I fear I lost a musical inspiration
And made lies up on the spot, and stayed pissed
Wishing I could reach far and be that me from back then
Not a worry in the world, just a kid in play pretends
[Pre-Chorus]
A tragic tale say it feels fine
No magic spell heals time
Staring deep inside and I can't hold back (Say it feels fine)
Can't believe I fell so far off track
Look at the film reels, burn the cinema down
Give up the giving and drown; let's stick around (Rewind)

[Chorus]
No right wish I could make
For every selfish mistake
Heartbreak, jealousy, lasting past the high
A thousand lives that passed me by (Oh)

Still, time lets me escape
Before the future takes shape
I'll rip the sutures of undesirable fate
Somewhere beyond the darkened ocean
Stars I'll reach soon dance along the waves

[Bridge]
(Once upon a goodbye dream)
Stay bright, take flight
Dance beyond midnight
Stay bright, take flight
Just might dance along the waves
[Chorus]
No right wish I could make
For every selfish mistake
Heartbreak, jealousy, lasting past the high
A thousand lives that passed me by (Oh)

Still, time lets me escape
Before the future takes shape
I'll rip the sutures of undesirable fate
Somewhere beyond the darkened ocean
Stars I'll reach soon dance along the waves

[Outro]
(Once upon a goodbye dream)
Stay bright, take flight
Just might dance along the waves
