Once upon a time, the world we knew was just beginning
Before your wings were broken, climbing higher than the sky
But now the halos gone
Nostalgia’s love is reaching for your ghost
Once upon a time, was a long time ago

So close your eyes and brace for impact here it comes a fireball
Close your eyes to make the last wish, we’re born of stardust after all

And now-
You’re burning up
You’re burning up
But shining brighter in the sky
You’re burning up
You’re burning up
A super-nova filled with light, and it's a long way down
I see the starfall, my love
It's such a long way down

Once upon a time, we were searching for the ever afters

In revolution's orbit, where the unseen stars all go
Those distant suns left glowing, in the dark now fade to nothingness
Once upon a time, was a long, long time ago

So close your eyes and brace for impact here it comes a fireball
Close your eyes to make the last wish, we’re born of stardust after all

And now-
We’re burning up
We’re burning up
But shining brighter in the sky
We’re burning up
We’re burning up
A super-nova when we die

And it's a long way down, I see the starfall
But it's a long way down

You and I were made from something bigger than this world, we know
Made to set the sky ablaze
To be a light
Then let it go
