Story Behind The Song
This song is a fun exploration on the hope that lives in every relationship to experience a true 'fairy tale ending.' The fairy tale theme runs throughout - while the lyrics explore the entire dichotomy - dipping from honesty to denial, from jaded sarcasm to an everything-will-be-alright-in-the-end attitude.
Song Description
Fairy Tale U is a laid back, smooth-groove track that mixes Pop, Rock and New-Country sounds with simple, raw (and at times soaring) vocals. The bright, honest yet whimsical sound-scape is set from the start and builds to a powerful 'rocked-out' bridge and final chorus - tapering back into that familiar intimacy for an ending that leaves the listener wanting more.

Lyrics
v1
i'm sitting all alone
trying to wish me somewhere else
i'm flirting with my phone
why can't we be ourselves
v2
I'm thinking on the past
safe from a future without you
the concept, I can't grasp
'cause I don't want to
chorus
I lie, at night, awake, I sit and wonder
what spell, you cast ....to put me under
I wish, that I, could make all fairy tales true
skip to, the end, then I'd be back with....
v3
I'm gazing at the stars
wishing just like i should
i'm seeing all the bad
and shutting out all the good
v4
I'm broke down and out of gas
running on only fumes
but somehow I'm not sad
'cause your in my rear view
chorus
I lie, at night, awake, I sit and wonder
what spell, you cast ....to put me under
I wish, that I, could make all fairy tales true
skip to, the end, then i'd be back with you...
with you, my fairy tale you, with you
bridge
I try to believe, in something that i can not see
hold on, to the hope, that somehow you'll come back to me
push out, all the doubt, and fears that over crowd my mind
i want, this fairy tale
give me, this fairy tale
i need, this fairy tale you
chorus
I lie, at night, awake, I sit and wonder
what spell, you cast ....to put me under
I wish, that I, could make all fairy tales true
skip to, the end, then i'd be back with you...
my fairy tale u, my fairy tale u
skip to the end
