[Verse]
Once upon a time, it was paradise
Once upon a time, I was paralyzed
Think I'm gonna miss these harbor lights
But it's time to let it go
Once upon a time, it was made for us
Woke up one day, it had turned to dust
Baby, we were found, but now we're lost
So it's time to let it go

[Pre-Chorus]
I want my house in the hills
Don't want no whiskey and pills
I don't give up easily
But I don't think I'm down

[Chorus]
So won't you slide away back to the ocean?
I'll go back to the city lights
Back to the ocean
La-la-la, you'll slide away
So won't you slide away back to the ocean?
I'll go back to the city lights
Back to the ocean
La-la-la, you'll slide away
[Verse]
Oncе upon a time, it was paradise
Once upon a timе, I was paralyzed
Think I'm gonna miss these harbor lights
But it's time to let it go
Once upon a time, it was made for us
Woke up one day, it had turned to dust
Baby, we were found, but now we're lost
So it's time to let it go

[Pre-Chorus]
Move on, we're not seventeen
I'm not who I used to be
You say that everything's changed
You're right, we're grown now

[Chorus]
So won't you slide away back to the ocean?
I'll go back to the city lights
Back to the ocean
La-la-la, you'll slide away
So won't you slide away back to the ocean?
I'll go back to the city lights
Back to the ocean
La-la-la, you'll slide away
[Outro]
I want my house in the hills
Don't want no whiskey and pills
Once upon a time, it was made for us
Move on, we're not seventeen
I'm not who I used to be
Woke up one day, it had turned to dust
