Once upon a time, it was paradise
Once upon a time, I was paralyzed
Think I'm gonna miss these harbor lights
But it's time to let it go
Once upon a time, it was paradise
Once upon a time, I was paralyzed
Think I'm gonna miss these harbor lights
But it's time to let it go
Once upon a time, it was made for us
Woke up one day, it had turned to dust
Baby, we were found, but now we're lost
So it's time to let it go
[Pre-Chorus]
I want my house in the hills
Don't want the whiskey and pills
I don't give up easily
But I don't think I'm down
[Chorus]
So won't you slide away?
Back to the ocean, I'll go back to the city lights
So won't you slide away?
Back to the ocean, la-la-la, you'll slide away
So won't you slide away?
Back to the ocean, I'll go back to the city lights
So won't you slide away?
Back to the ocean, la-la-la, you'll slide away
[Verse Reprise]
Once upon a time, it was paradise
Once upon a time, I was paralyzed
Think I'm gonna miss these harbor lights
But it's time to let it go
Once upon a time, it was made for us (For us)
Woke up one day, it had turned to dust
Baby, we were found, but now we're lost
So it's time to let it go
[Pre-Chorus]
Move on, we're not seventeen
I'm not who I used to be
You say that everything changed
You're right, we're grown now
[Chorus]
So won't you slide away?
Back to the ocean, I'll go back to the city lights
So won't you slide away?
Back to the ocean, la-la-la, you'll slide away
So won't you slide away?
Back to the ocean, I'll go back to the city lights
So won't you slide away?
Back to the ocean, la-la-la, you'll slide away
[Outro]
Move on, we're not seventeen
I'm not who I used to be
You say that everything changed
You're right, we're grown now
Det var engang paradis
Engang var jeg lammet
Tror jeg vil gå glip af disse havnelys
Men det er tid til at lade det gå
Det var engang skabt til os
Vågnede en dag, det var blevet til støv
Skat, vi blev fundet, men nu er vi fortabt
Så det er på tide at lade det gå
[Pre-Kor]
Jeg vil have mit hus i bakkerne
Vil ikke have whisky og piller
Jeg giver ikke let op
Men jeg tror ikke, jeg er nede
[Kor]
Så glider du ikke væk?
Tilbage til havet går jeg tilbage til byens lys
Så glider du ikke væk?
Tilbage til havet, la-la-la, glider du væk
Så glider du ikke væk?
Tilbage til havet går jeg tilbage til byens lys
Så glider du ikke væk?
Tilbage til havet, la-la-la, glider du væk
[Vers Reprise]
Det var engang paradis
Engang var jeg lammet
Tror jeg vil gå glip af disse havnelys
Men det er tid til at lade det gå
Det var engang skabt til os (For os)
Vågnede en dag, det var blevet til støv
Skat, vi blev fundet, men nu er vi fortabt
Så det er på tide at lade det gå
[Pre-Kor]
Gå videre, vi er ikke sytten
Jeg er ikke den, jeg plejede at være
Du siger, at alt ændrede sig
Du har ret, vi er vokset nu
[Kor]
Så glider du ikke væk?
Tilbage til havet går jeg tilbage til byens lys
Så glider du ikke væk?
Tilbage til havet, la-la-la, glider du væk
Så glider du ikke væk?
Tilbage til havet går jeg tilbage til byens lys
Så glider du ikke væk?
Tilbage til havet, la-la-la, glider du væk
[Outro]
Gå videre, vi er ikke sytten
Jeg er ikke den, jeg plejede at være
Du siger, at alt ændrede sig
Du har ret, vi er vokset nu
