A Sorta Fairytale

Lyrics

On my way up north, up on the Ventura
 I pulled back the hood and I was talking to you
 And I knew then it would be a life long thing
 But I didn't know that we, we could break a silver lining
 And I'm so sad
 Like a good book, I can't put this day back
 A sorta fairytale with you (a sorta fairytale with you)
 A sorta fairytale with you
 Things you said that day, up on the 101
 The girl had come undone, I tried to downplay it
 With a bet about us, you said that you'd take it
 As long as I could, I could not erase it
 And I'm so sad
 Like a good book, I can't put this day back
 A sorta fairytale with you (a sorta fairytale with you)
 A sorta fairytale with you
 And I ride along side
 And I rode along side you then
 And I rode along side
 'Til you lost me there in the open road
 And I rode along side
 'Til the honey spread itself so thin
 For me to break your bread
 For me to take your word
 I had to steal it
 And I'm so sad
 Like a good book, I can't put this day back
 A sorta fairytale with you (a sorta fairytale with you)
 I could pick back up whenever I feel
 Down New Mexico way, something 'bout the open road
 I knew that he was looking for some Indian blood
 And find a little in you find a little in me
 We may be on this road, but
 We're just impostors in this country you know
 So we go along and we said we'd fake it
 Feel better with Oliver Stone
 'Til I almost smacked him seemed right that night
 I don't know what takes hold out there in the desert cold
 These guys think they must try and just get over on us
 And I'm so sad
 Like a good book, I can't put this day back
 A sorta fairytale with you (a sorta fairytale with you)
 A sorta fairytale with you
 And I was riding by, riding alongside
 For a while 'til you lost me
 And I was riding by, riding along 'til you lost me
 'Til you lost me in the rearview, you lost me I said, yeah
 Way up north, I took my day
 All in all was a pretty nice day, and I
 I put the hood right back where
 You could taste heaven perfectly
 Feel out the summer breeze
 Didn't know when we'd be back
 And I, I don't, didn't think
 We'd end up like, like this
