Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Back here again
Losing a friend
Thought I was strong but I'm reeling
This time felt different
Our connection was instant
But that was pure magical thinking
[Verse 2]
Just move on from the pain
Soon it'll fade like a memory
You'll start over again
Evolving from this fateful origin story
[Verse 3]
A chariot streaks across the sky
So majestically
Two girls on an odyssey
In the city that never sleeps
Riding high on a merry-go-round
A modern mythology
Glory within reach, in the playground of our dreams
[Verse 4]
Our destiny with reality
In a race against the wind
Discovering a new part of me in a fated friend
I knew finding you would be an epic journey with no end or so then it seemed
Or so then it seemed in the playground of our dreams
[Verse 5]
But you can't see shooting stars in this city of marquee lights
Fate brought us together and then tore us apart, tore us apart
Wish I could go back and restart
Our race across the sky
To a world where dreams and friendships aren't destined to collide
[Verse 6]
The chariot has landed, stranded on this lonely island
Where great beginnings don't get happy endings
And glorious mythologies can slip out of your reach
In reality best friends leave
The ride was just make-believe
In the playground of our dreams
