Once Upon Another Time

Once upon another time Somebody's hands who felt like mine Turned the key and took a drive Was free I recall the sun sank low Buckley on the radio Cigarette was burning slow So breathe Just yellow lines and tire marks Sun-kissed skin and handle bars And where I stood was where I was To be No enemies to call my own No porch light on to pull me home And where I was is beautiful Because I was free Once upon another time Before I knew which life was mine Before I left the child behind Be I saw myself in summer nights And stars lit up like candle lights I made my wish but mostly I Believed And yellow lines and tire marks Sun-kissed skin and handle bars And where I stood was where I was To be Once upon another time Deciding nothing good in dying So I would just keep on driving Because I was free --- Once Upon Another Time - Sara Bareilles
