Once Upon a Time

Though I used to think

Marriage was a dreamer’s religion

My heart is dancing like a string of cans

So if you accept

And if you can spare me a lifetime

We can hold forever in our hands

Cause you can’t rely on someone else

In a million hours

Will the love song fade into silence?

Will the tears of rapture dry away?

Though I have no doubt

That you are my once in a lifeline

In between the black and white is grey

In some things you don’t have a second chance

Once upon a time

Vows were spoken never broken

People say that never happens

Though I know you’re mine

Who can say that time won’t change us

People say we’ll never be the same

There have been some times

When the effort shadowed the comfort

And I felt like throwing it away

But despite those burning eyes

And despite the words that we tortured

I never had a single lonely day

You can’t rely on someone else
