"Once Upon Another Time" by Sara Bareilles

"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"
