Once
Once upon a better time
I said I'm yours and you were mine
But fairy tales are full of lies
So let's let this one pass us by
Once upon a broken stage
I sang my heart out day by day
But no one came and no one stayed
So I cashed the check and went away
Once upon a bed of nails
I laid and each pin played a scale
The pain one out, my music failed
So I slept and in my dreams I sailed
Once upon a waking dream
A girl just like you sang to me
Her words were water, pure and clean
I only wonder what they mean
Once upon a midnight bridge
I woke up with an aching wish
Cause heartache's only got one trick
To take your voice and devour it
Once upon a spotlight beam
A microphone right next to me
I took a breath and luckily
The sound that came out was pristine
I said I'm yours and you were mine
But fairy tales are full of lies
So let's let this one pass us by
Once upon a broken stage
I sang my heart out day by day
But no one came and no one stayed
So I cashed the check and went away
Once upon a bed of nails
I laid and each pin played a scale
The pain one out, my music failed
So I slept and in my dreams I sailed
Once upon a waking dream
A girl just like you sang to me
Her words were water, pure and clean
I only wonder what they mean
Once upon a midnight bridge
I woke up with an aching wish
Cause heartache's only got one trick
To take your voice and devour it
Once upon a spotlight beam
A microphone right next to me
I took a breath and luckily
The sound that came out was pristine
