Life was so simple when I
Woke up that morning and then I
Got in the car and put the keys in ignition
How could I have known
That I'd drive a hundred miles just to hear you lie
Came into my life again
You stepped off the plane
I waited for you with a sign in the pouring rain
And all I wanted was a smile and to hear my name
But all that left your lips was shame
All my fears realized in a single moment
Dreams unspoken and plans undone
There's nowhere to run
But the pain in my chest has just begun
Take me away from every mistake
To a place far away
Where I can lay and fade
You took me away to your dreams made it real
To where love isn't fiction and even kings learn to kneel
Somewhere I wish I could stay
I need not borrow or steal away
But then I remember that day
And take another look
In our history books, it reads like fairy tales
But ends like Captain Hook
The crock holds the dial
And it's tick, tick, ticking all the while
I'm left like a weeping child
Lost boy, don't know if I'm alive
Or if I'm living someone else's lie
You take me away from every mistake
To a place far away where I can lay and fade
Because I'm afraid of falling in love
Now I'm afraid of falling in love
Take me away from every mistake
To a place far away where I can lay and fade
You took me away to your dreams made it real
To where love isn't fiction and even kings learn to kneel
Somewhere I wish I could stay
I need not borrow or steal away
But then I remember that day
