  • 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 Writer/s: SARA BAREILLES
