In the middle of the woods
Once upon a time
I read a few pages in a book of rhyme
It said I wanna love the people
Who love to be deceitful, who love to lie

And if I wanna know your secrets
Then I can’t stay safe or sound
I want the truth where I can see it
Even if I hit the ground

Won’t you whisper in my ear
So I can hear you better
With all these voices in my head
I haven’t heard a word you’ve said

In the middle of the woods
Once upon a day
I tried my best to figure out the words to say
With a stumble and a fall, then a heaven phone call
I found my way

But if I wanna know your secrets
Then I can’t stay safe or sound
Ain’t no good to just believe it
Cause they say the world is round
Won’t you whisper in my ear
So I can hear you better
With all these voices in my head
I haven’t heard a word you’ve said
In the middle of the woods
Once upon a time
