Sorta Fairytale [Demo] [#] Lyrics
On my way up north
Up on the Ventura
I pulled back the hood
and I was talking to you
and i knew then it would be
a life-long thing, but I didn't
know that it could
break so well and clean
and I'm so sad
like a good book
I can't put this day back
a sorta fairytale with you
Said that day up on the 101
you would be someone
you tried to downplay it
but i knew we had come
face to face with this thing we created
and I'm so sad
like a good book
I can't but this day back
a sorta fairytale with you
I could pick back up whenever I feel
and I was riding by
riding along side for a while
til you lost me and i was
riding along side til you lost me
til you lost me in the rearview
til you lost me, i said
hmmm...
way up north, i took my day
all and all, was a pretty nice day
and i put the hood right back where
you could taste heaven perfectly
feel out the summer breeze
didn't know when we'd back and i
i don't, i didn't think we'd end up like this
Up on the Ventura
I pulled back the hood
and I was talking to you
and i knew then it would be
a life-long thing, but I didn't
know that it could
break so well and clean
like a good book
I can't put this day back
a sorta fairytale with you
you would be someone
you tried to downplay it
but i knew we had come
face to face with this thing we created
like a good book
I can't but this day back
a sorta fairytale with you
I could pick back up whenever I feel
riding along side for a while
til you lost me and i was
riding along side til you lost me
til you lost me in the rearview
til you lost me, i said
all and all, was a pretty nice day
and i put the hood right back where
you could taste heaven perfectly
feel out the summer breeze
didn't know when we'd back and i
i don't, i didn't think we'd end up like this

i love the video. i didn't even know who sang this song, but i loved it... the video is like two people who are together, but can't really see why, and with some effort, they realize that together they are whole, they complete eachother... wow that sounds so corny lol
the song tells a story-so, its your own story...tori means its a kind of a fairytale in the real life. i mean this song is great, because this is a pianoversion, tori shows it can be make without drums and percussions
Obviously part of it is about oral sex being performed on her:
"I pulled back the hood so you could taste heaven perfectly"
LMAO never even thought of that. some sick mind you have mister!

This demo version of the song is so lovely. The piano is just gorgeous. I never noticed that part, but she does have a knack for sliding metaphors like that into her songs ever so eloquently.
