[English]

It's been a couple years since I've seen your face

Wondering what you're up to now (to now)

Yeah, my head is still up in space

I guess it never came down (down)

I can tell you that I've changed a bit though

Not too much since then (since then)

We were always rebellious kids

Do you remember when

We were riding through the night?

The moon was on our side

Once upon a time

Once upon a time

As high as the stars in the sky

Crossing all the lines

Once upon a time

Once upon a time

...

Do you recall the promises we used to make back then? (Back then)

Can you tell me are they still on, or is that silly of me to think?

Years I find separate us, I think of you now and then (and then)

Won't let the memories fade to dust

Baby, remember when

We were riding through the night

The moon was on our side

Once upon a time

Once upon a time

As high as the stars in the sky

Crossing all the lines

Once upon a time

Once upon a time

...

We were riding through the night

The moon was on our side

Once upon a time

Once upon a time

As high as the stars in the sky

Crossing all the lines

Once upon a time

Once upon a time

...
