Gonna paint a picture

(alexander/badlees)

Gonna put it in a frame



So I can show you how I'm feelin'

Gonna paint a picture

Without having to explain

Gonna put it in a frame

And you can hang it from you ceiling

So i can show you how i'm feelin'

In your safe and happy home

Without having to explain

When you come to understand it

And you can hang it from your ceiling

You'll know you're not alone

In your safe and happy home



When you come to understand it

Once upon a time

You'll know you're not alone

We could speak our minds





Once upon a time

CHORUS

We could speak our minds

But now I don't believe you gwendolyn



I don't believe you're all that strong

(chorus)

I don't believe you know the dangers

But now i don't believe you gwendolyn

Of this road you're travlin' on

I don't believe you're all that strong

You're always asking questions

I don't believe you know the dangers

That you know the answers to

Of this road you're travelin' on

Tell me please

You're always asking questions

What do you want from me

That you know the answers to



Tell me please

Gonna write a song

What do you want from me

Gonna tell it like it is



And if you recognize yourself

Gonna write a song

I know you're going to be pissed

Gonna tell it like it is

And if you call me on it

And if you recognize yourself

I'll deny it through and through

I know you're going to be pissed

Just like woody allen would

And if you call me on it

If he were in my shoes

I'll deny it through and through



Just like woody allen would

Once upon a time

If he were in my shoes

I could speak my mind





Once upon a time

CHORUS

I could speak my mind





Gonna write a letter

(chorus)

Gonna mail it to myself



Sincerely and forever

Gonna write a letter

You and yours can go to hell

Gonna mail it to myself

Well, the I'll put it in my pocket

Sincerely and forever

So when this all comes crashing down

You and yours can go to hell

I'll have a way to show you

Well, then i'll put it in my pocket

How long I've been wearing down

So when this all comes crashing down



I'll have a way to show you

Once upon a time

How long i've been wearing down.

We could speak our minds

Once upon a time



We could speak our minds
