ONCE UPON A RHYME
I BELIEVED IN FATE
THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES
DID IT MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU
OR WAS I JUST ANYONE TO YOU?
THEN CAME THE DAZE
THE SANTA ANA WIND
WHIPPED THE SAND IN MY FACE
IT DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU
EVERYTHING THAT WE WENT THROUGH FOR LOVE
YOU USED TO BE THE CENTER OF MY UNIVERSE
YOU WERE MY GRAVITY THAT KEPT ME DOWN TO EARTH
MY HEAD SKY HIGH AND MY FEET FIRMLY ON THE GROUND
THEN CAME THE END
NOW IT SEEMS TO ME MY FRIEND
I'M ALONE IN THE CENTER OF MY UNIVERSE
TIME IS A FILE
– IF REVEALED IT WOULD BE MOST UNKIND
BETTER STOP TRYIN' TO CHANGE THE PAST
AND TRY TO FIND SOMETHING THAT WILL LAST
I WALKED ON HOPING SOMEDAY
SOMEONE WOULD COME ALONG
YEAH, I FLEW ALL AROUND THE PLANET SO FAST
BURNED A LOTTA CASH, LEARNED THE ONLY THING
THAT LASTS IS LOVE
SO HERE I AM, THE CENTER OF MY UNIVERSE
TRYIN' TO FIND MY GRAVITY TO KEEP ME HERE ON EARTH
JUST A TINY SPECK IN A RUTHLESS UNIVERSE
OOH, WITH THE RAIN IT'LL ALL WASH OUT AGAIN
I REMAIN THE CENTER OF MY UNIVERSE
