My 2-Minute Fairy Tale

I wrote "My 2-Minute Fairy Tale" this summer after coming home at night after an outdoor concert and recalling the contagious energy of the crowd, the sweat of the night, the dusty glow of the stage lights, the stomped down grass, the excitement of the moment. That's how the lyrics started, and they developed more into describing listening to a song rather than a concert. It's girly, I had fun writing it, and I hope you enjoy reading it! :)

Verse 1
I'm taking off my makeup,
Leaving my glass slipper,
Watching my Prince Charming
Fade to dust and glitter.
As I watch the spotlight
Flicker into blackness,
I wish upon a shooting star
And hope this night will last.

Verse 2
I'm running towards the lightning
As the last petal falls,
Hoping that this feeling
Will last inside my walls.
As I gaze down the tower,
Imagining your song,
I can almost hear your melody
Echoing all night long.

Chorus
And I don't want this night to end
Because tonight I am a princess,
And this dirt floor is my ball.
Your voice is my rhythm,
And we can dance all night long.

Bridge
Don't let the clock strike midnight.
I'll lose my heart
And lose my wings
If you leave me here tonight,
So just sing,
Just stop time.
I don't mind being alone,
And I don't mind leaving
Because your voice carries me home.

Outro
And the light fades,
And I'm all alone,
Dancing with your voice on the radio.
You made me a princess
As I waltzed around my room.
For 2.5 minutes I was with you.
