Once Upon A Time

I found my big lights
Going out on tour
You've got a girlfriend
And she's such a bore

I laugh at parties
You say that you're content
I still kinda hate you
And you have your regrets

And it's not the life, not the life I chose
But I am booking my first sold out show

But once upon a time we had a different dream
You said "baby, till we die...
Promise me."

I'm in the camera
Chronically online
Turns out that's who I am
And that's perfectly fine

You're off the grid
Could be dead for all I know
Chickens and compost
Quiet, safe, alone

And it's the life
It's the life you chose
And I guess I'm fucking glad you let me go

But once upon a time we had a different dream
Then I was the brightest thing you'd ever seen

But I'd fall asleep when you'd just count to ten
And you'd get embarrassed at my compliments
And I don't forgive you for your promises
You were wrong to break me
But you're right, we don't make sense

But once upon a time we had a different dream
You said "baby, till we die, promise me"
Yeah, promise me
Once upon a time you let poor me believe
We were something better than fantasy
But that was the fantasy
