[Verse 1] 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 lifelong thing But I didn't know that we, we could break a silver lining [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Post-Chorus] And I ride alongside And I rode alongside you then And I rode alongside till you lost me there in the open road And I rode alongside till the honey spread itself so thin For me to break your bread, for me to take your word I had to steal it [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] Down New Mexico way, something about 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 Till I almost smacked him, seemed right that night and 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 [Chorus] 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 [Post-Chorus] And I was riding by, riding alongside For a while till you lost me And I was riding by, riding along till you lost me Till you lost me in the rearview You lost me, I said. yeah [Outro] 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
