Once upon a time lived a man in Triangleland
Twenty-four-year-old, he was setting up a plan
With unknown adjacent, looking for someone
Couldn't deny it, he was the most perfect man
[Pre-Chorus]
A modern day Yunior, ruthless heartbreaker
Say your goodbyes when he said, “see you later.”
[Chorus]
Ten dozen hearts he broke
But he still wanted more
Ten dozen hearts to go
Ten dozen games he played
Boy had he never failed
Ten dozen games to go
Once upon a time lived the complement of Sine
Twenty-five years gone, she went through it all alone
With unknown opposite, waiting for someone
Bound, weak, and bleeding, her love light never shone
[Pre-Chorus II]
Climbed Everest, travelled the world
She was so reckless yet insecure
[Chorus II]
Ten thousand miles she drove
To find someone to love
Ten thousand miles to go
Ten thousand lies she told
To find someone to hold
Ten thousand lies to go
Once upon a time lived a boy in Triangleland
Three quid in his pocket trying to get that paper crown
At angle of depression, staring at the ground
He really hoped one day, he could see his mum around
[Pre-Chorus III]
Seven years young, full-time daydreamer
He floated away, like a windblown feather
[Chorus III]
Ten dozen lullabies
Could never put him to sleep
Ten dozen lullabies
Ten thousand fireflies
Could never lighten his hope
Ten thousand fireflies
