lyrics

I saw her standing at the window
And I ran straight outside
She put her number in my cell phone
Like she had nothing to hide
I kept her warm in my raincoat
When I took her out later that night
And she held my whole world in her eyes

It was like a fairy tale interrupted by real life
It was like a dream come true, but now I'm wide awake at night
It was like a fantasy we knew would never turn out right
And there's no wonderland in sight

All her quirky little habits
They started to bother me in time
Like a charming white rabbit
Leading me out of my mind
I can't remember how we got so far gone
Or why she looks twice my size
But when a bottle says, "drink me" I oblige

It was like a fairy tale interrupted by real life
It was like a dream come true, but now I'm wide awake at night
It was like a fantasy we knew would never turn out right
And there's no wonderland
No wonderland in sight
No wonderland in sight
No wonderland in sight

I broke the tea pot that she said she couldn't replace
I had that cheshire cat grin stretching across my face
I think the doorknobs moved so that I couldn't escape
Before her ex showed up and kicked me out of her place

It was like a fairy tale interrupted by real life
It was like a dream come true, but now I'm wide awake at night
It was like a fantasy we knew would never turn out right
And there's no wonderland
No wonderland, no

It was like a fairy tale interrupted by real life
It was like a dream come true, but now I'm wide awake at night
It was like a fantasy we knew would never turn out right
And there's no wonderland in sight
