Woo ooh, woo ooh, woo ooh Woo ooh, woo ooh, woo ooh 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 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 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 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 Move on, we're not 17 I'm not who I used to be You say that everything changed You're right, we're grown now 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 Move on, we're not 17 I'm not who I used to be You say that everything changed You're right, we're grown now
