[Intro]
Ooh
[Verse]
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
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I want my house in the hills
I want my whiskey and pills
You want a wife and a kid
I don't think I'm down
[Chorus]
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
[Verse]
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
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I do get drunk and obscene
I'm forever seventeen
You want your castle and queen
I don't think I'm down
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
I want my house in the hills
I want my whiskey and pills (Uh-uh)
You want a wife and a kid
I don't think I'm down (Uh-uh)
It's time to let it go (Uh-uh)
I go crazy (Uh-uh)
Slide away (Uh-uh)
Back to the ocean, it's time to let it go (Uh-uh)
Back to the ocean, it's time to let it go (Uh-uh)
Back to the ocean, it's time to let it go (Uh-uh)
Back to the ocean, it's time to let it go (Uh-uh)
Back to the ocean, it's time to let it go (Uh-uh)
Slide away, slide away
It's time to let it go (Uh-uh)
