Drivin' down the freeway, the long grey road
To somewhere that I know
Lookin' outta the window, in the afternoon sun
To know that I ain't alone

It's just a jigsaw puzzle, with a thousand pieces
Expecting something good
When you put the pieces together, you see
That you had never understood

That nothing's coming or going away
Everything is still the same
It's just a fairytale without the magic, yeah
It ain't just black and white today
There's gotta be some grey
And let's be real and say
That we like it better this way
This kind of fairytale'
This kind of fairytale'

The elevator's moving, it can just rise up
Or just fall down
Tryin' to write a song, it seems much harder
Than it really sounds

Like I say, there can be no magic
But everyone has the power to cast a spell
Like I say, you can choose to fly
Or you can choose to live in hell
It's upto you, realize'

That nothing's coming or going away
Everything is still the same
It's just a fairytale without the magic, yeah
It ain't just black and white today
There's gotta be some grey
And let's be real and say
That we like it better this way
This kind of fairytale'
This kind of fairytale'

Once upon a time, there was
A happy ever after for all
But when you realize it's not
So perfect, you gotta know
You gotta know'
That nothing's coming or going away
Everything is still the same
It's just a fairytale without the magic, yeah
It ain't just black and white today
There's gotta be some grey
And let's be real and say
That we like it better this way

Yeah we like it better this way, this kind of fairytale
Yeah we like it better this way, we like this fairytale
