Jenny Owen Youngs - Another Castle Lyrics

I been through the swamplands
Over mountains, under seas
Searching through the badlands
For the one thing that I need

But every time a drawbridge come down
Gatekeeper will say with a frown

Your princess is in another castle
Sorry for the hassle
Strangely it's a common mistake
But the thing is, what complicates a princess
She's always where you look last
So think fast
For everyone's sake
And remember anybody can break

No man's born an island
But I wish that I could learn
Cause I might spend my last life
Licking lamplight, getting burned

I curse the haunted heart in my chest
It pulls me forward every step
Says

Your princess is in another castle
Sorry for the hassle
Would you just prefer to pretend
One princess can't be in every castle
Avoiding poison apples
And scrolling from her canopy bed
So re-start and forget

Listen it wasn't what it looked like
I never really felt right
But I tried to make it okay
An apple is just an allegory
The moral of the story
Is you'll reap whatever you sow
So watch your step as you go
