‘The end’ never seemed like it was good enough Two little words seemed too small I turned the page to find a blank one As if the ones before never really happened at all But what about the love, what about the old obsessions We fell into when they were new What about the late at night, heartfelt confessions The things we tried, the tears we cried Well it seemed to hide away I got one more part for the story book One more road that I should’ve took One more thing that used to have my heart I got one more place in my memory Where I wished with every part of me I could go back, go back to the start I know it’s too far down and much too high to climb But why can’t we bring it all back To the once upon a time Here we are, staring at the finish line And I swear, it’s like we came a million miles And if I take one more step, I will forget the rivers we crossed A happy ending will be lost if we say goodbye But what about the way our fable wasn’t fiction It was real to you, it was real to me So maybe our love was a lovely contradiction We were never sure of what we were But we knew we could never be I got one more part for the story book One more road that I should’ve took One more thing that used to have my heart I got one more place in my memory Where I wished with every part of me I could go back, go back to the start I know it’s too far down and much too high to climb But why can’t we bring it all back To the once upon a time But what about the way our fable wasn’t fiction It was real to you, it was real to me So what about the ups and downs, and all the lessons The things we learned, the stones we turned Well that bridge has burned away And now it’s just one more part for the story book One more road that I should’ve took One more thing that used to have my heart Yeah I know it’s too far down and much too high to climb Oh I just wish we could bring it all back To that once upon a time Back to the start, back to your heart To that once upon a time Back to the start, back to your heart To that once upon a time I know it’s too far down and much too high to climb I just wish we could bring it all back to the once upon a time
