From the recording Another Trip Around the Sun (5th Album)
Lyrics
We were young and naive, in our eyes we’d believe in the dreams
Didn’t spend countless hours scrolling in front of the screens
We rode bikes after school ‘til the lights on the streets came on
Every goodbye meant tomorrow, not gone
Maybe it wasn’t perfect, maybe we just didn’t know
But we believed in forever
Once upon a time
Faded photographs kept in a shoebox we used to store
Every scratch on a record meant we just played it more
We wrote down all the numbers, we didn’t have digital codes
We found our way home with hard maps not satellite roads
Maybe it wasn’t perfect, maybe we just didn’t know
Whoa, but we believed in forever
Once upon a time
Words were said with more care and not with a hateful tone
Leaders played hopeful hands ‘stead of insults being thrown
Maybe it wasn’t perfect, maybe we just didn’t know
A fable read filling up my head, a long long time ago
Happily ever after, oh the story’d go
Oh but we believed in forever
Once upon a time, yeah yeah
Once upon a time
