Back here again, losing a friend
I thought I was strong, but I'm reeling
This time felt different, our connection was instant
But that was pure magical thinking
Just move on from the pain
Soon it'll fade like a memory
You'll start over again
Evolving from this fateful origin story
A chariot streaks across the sky
So majestically
Two girls on an odyssey
In the city that never sleeps
Riding high on a merry-go-round
Of modern mythology
Glory within reach
In the playground of our dreams, oh-whoa
Our destiny with reality
In the race against the wind
Discovering a new part of me
In a fated friend
I knew finding you would be
An epic journey with no end
Or so that it seemed
In the playground of our dreams, oh-whoa
But you can't see shooting stars
In the city of marquee lights
Fate brought us together
Then tore us apart, tore us apart
Wish I could go back and restart
I'll race across the sky
To a world where dreams and friendships
Aren't destined to collide
The chariot has landed
Stranded on this lonely island
Where great beginnings
Don't get happy endings
Glorious mythologies
Can slip out of your reach
In reality, best friends leave
The ride was just make-believe
In the playground of our dreams, oh
