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 life long thing
But I didn't know that we, we could break a silver lining

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

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

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

And I ride along side
And I rode along side you then
And I rode along side
'Til you lost me there in the open road

And I rode along side
'Til the honey spread itself so thin
For me to break your bread
For me to take your word
I had to steal it

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

Down New Mexico way, something 'bout 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
'Til I almost smacked him seemed right that night
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

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

And I was riding by, riding alongside
For a while 'til you lost me
And I was riding by, riding along 'til you lost me
'Til you lost me in the rearview, you lost me I said, yeah

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
