Once upon a time, I was falling in love with you
My heart and your hands at the end of the avenue
Batting my eyes, trying to play it all cool
But you could see through all of that
When I was sixteen, 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
Once upon a time, life was an open road
Rear view mirror, another sold out show
Always some place 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 naive
A hotel room with a beautiful view
What did it matter to me?
If there was no
You-ooh
If there was no
You-ooh
And 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
(While the world burns)
While the world burns
(While the world burns)
While the world burns
While the world burns
Once upon a time, I was falling in love with you
My heart and your hands at the end of the avenue
Batting my eyes, trying to play it all cool
But you could see through all of that
