This song is a little bit more complex. It's about wanting what is unrealistic. It's about wanting what we aren't actually supposed to have. There is an individual out there for us, although they may just not be in our lives yet. We have to play the waiting game, of which I am not good at. ~ Ninebeds <3
lyrics
Sometimes I can't help but wanna fly away
To another place, a secret hideaway
A place where we can be
Darling just you and me
My little fantasy
But fairytales only last in dreams
Jump back to reality
Where this little girl came and she sat next to me, she
Puckered up her cheeks and looked into my eyes, said
Boy are you ready for a suprise?
Then she took me by the hand and we ran outside, she
Reined down a cab and told the man to drive down
To the riverfront oh don't be shy now
She looked me in the eyes
And began to cry out
Sometimes I can't help but wanna fly away
To another place, a secret hideaway
A place where we can be
Darling just you and me
My little fantasy
But fairytales only last in dreams
An old man once told me, boy
Don't feel so lonely, you see
The world takes its time to decide
Won't you just take love up off your mind
An old man once told me, boy
Don't feel so fucking lonely, you see
The world takes its time to decide
Won't you just take love up off your mind
She's gonna be there when the day ends
She's gonna be there to hold your hand
She's gonna be there to light the night sky
But right now she's with another guy
She's gonna be there when the day ends
She's gonna be there to hold your hand
She's gonna be there to light he night sky
She's gonna be there, ah, she's gonna be there
Sometimes I can't help but wanna fly away
To another place, a secret hideaway
A place where we can be
Darling just you and me
My little fantasy
But fairytales only last in dreams.
