lyrics

I had thought
That the way to love someone
Was like a fairy tale
Made up of fiction and forever afters

And love somehow
Would always be on time
Until I figured out
It’s a story they wrote for the hopeless romantic

Does it ever seem just like a fantasy
Living above reality
It’s hard to see when you dream
When you’re awake
Nothing is ever as it seems

If you’re drifting with no place to go
Just make up a world inside your mind
And find your paradise
And when you come back to earth
Remember how it felt inside it’s never late to find some time

Hold tight
The storm of loneliness will pass right through the night
And the sun will shine down from the sky

Cause love comes and goes on back and forth like seasons through the years
So wipe away those tears

Does it ever seem just like a fairytale
Living above reality
It’s hard to see when you dream
When you’re awake
Nothing is ever as it seems

If you’re drifting with no place to go
Just make up a world inside your mind
And find your paradise
And when you come back to earth
Remember how it felt inside it’s never late to find some time

If you’re drifting with no place to go
Just make up a world inside your mind
And find your paradise
And when you come back to earth
Remember how it felt inside you're never far from paradise
