Once Upon a Day in the Future

Verse 1

Once upon a day in the future

They'll put a crown upon my head

And who I am will have to bend

To fit the role until the end

Pre-Chorus

But today the sun is mine

And no one's watching how I shine

I can stumble, I can fall

I don't have to be it all

Chorus

Once upon a day in the future

I'll wave goodbye to who I am

But not today, not yet, not now

I'm still a princess, still somehow

Still figuring out the rules

Still learning how to wear my crown

Once upon a day in the future

But not today

Verse 2

Once upon a day in the future

I'll have to know just what to say

No room for doubt, no room to stray

They'll need me strong every single day

But now I still forget my lines

And sometimes cry without a reason

And change my mind with every season

And that's okay, that's okay

Pre-Chorus

Because today the sun is mine

And no one's watching how I shine

I can stumble, I can fall

I don't have to be it all

Chorus

Once upon a day in the future

I'll wave goodbye to who I am

But not today, not yet, not now

I'm still a princess, still somehow

Still figuring out the rules

Still learning how to wear my crown

Once upon a day in the future

But not today

Bridge

Maybe queens were princesses once

Who also cried behind closed doors

Who also didn't know the answers

Who also dreamed of something more

So let me have this one more moment

Before the story changes key

Just let me be a little lost

Just let me be just me

Chorus

Once upon a day in the future

I'll wave goodbye to who I am

But not today, not yet, not now

I'm still a princess, still somehow

Still figuring out the rules

Still learning how to wear my crown

Once upon a day in the future

But not today

Outro

(Not today, not today)

(Just a little longer)

(Not today)
