I know, you know We don't see We sow our truth, wait patiently I walk the streets with a song in my head We ebb and we flow so Got my toes on my pup at the foot of my bed My heart always seems to know Now take the glitz back, I want the soul instead 'Cause I found some kind of fairytale I used to Hover outside my truth Always worry of what I'd lose Take away my record deal Go on, I don't need it Spent the last 2 years getting to what's real And now I can see so clear I hope you feel just like I feel I found some kind of fairytale Want a garden by the ocean tide Because I lose my way searching for stage lights Well, Stevie knows and I thank her so 'Cause it's your seeds I sow And now I know Nolita flat on rent control That's the life I choose And you drag me to the fashion show The poses that I see through The movies in the afternoon 'Cause I found some kind of fairy tale hey Nolita Fairytale (Ba da da da da da, Ba da da da da da) Nolita Fairytale (Ba da da da da da, Ba da da da da da) Nolita Fairytale Nolita Fairytale Nolita Fairytale
