Just for tonight
We can go anywhere
Your love's so right
You're my fairy tale
VERSE 1:
Once upon a time, a cool young prince
Stands right by an angel and catches a glimpse
Of a glitter in her eye as she licks her lips
And says "I love you", but he's never seen her since
Bippity boppity boo-hoo, another love story?
Happily-ever-afters are all so corny
Just go on forever pretending
Like the vicious cycle will never be ending
Back where they started, they're chillin' in the Camry
Our hero's trying not to sweat her so badly
Denying what they want, but if they let it be,
They'll find their way back to each other's less-than-three's <3
But that's just how the story goes
They split up like how I eat an Oreo
Man, they should've dunked it
Damn, who'd have thunk
That their fucked up love is the only way they function
It's midnight, their carriage turns back into a pumpkin
CHORUS
VERSE 2:
My wonderland's Alice, I catch her when she falls
Down through the rabbit hole, I guess it's my fault
For this one night of magic, we're dancing at the ball
But I know she wants to have it with her back against the wall
This dream is our reality, please don't say it's not
We just wanna stay asleep, please don't wake us up
The Cinderella story ends when we say it does
I hate to burst your bubble, but I don't think it's love
We say we're laying out everything on the table
But what we really want is so unattainable
Maybe we love breaking up 'cause we love the making up
We shrug it off like we never gave a fuck
Our once-upon-a-time drops by to say "hi"
We're stuck on all the bad, but too afraid to let it die
It's so hard to let go of old habits
Paul Bunyan of a love, but we had to axe it
And there goes the magic
CHORUS
VERSE 3:
In his vanity fantasy, the hero gets laid
But feelings all changed, so hero got slayed
She tried to make him real, but she is no Gepetto
He's unhealed like Cinderella's stiletto
Forbidden fruit, sleeping beauty want the apple
Pulling out her hair like Rapunzel in her castle
Why is finding love such a hassle?
Why do wicked witches turn boys into assholes?
Mirror mirror on the wall, why does everybody
Feel like they're flying when they fall in love
Then they feel like they're dying when it's all said and done
The gingerbread house end of the bread crumbs
Every single princess, every prince charming
Star-crossed lovers part ways in the mourning
Please stop this carousel
