about

This tune is so much fun to play. Bouncy and strummy and stompy, with a little offbeat thing going on in the chords. We're already playing it live and people seem to like it.

Obviously it's about love and romance often not turning out as you hoped. No dragons were harmed during the making of this song.

lyrics

LYRICS:

Since I was little I have known exactly what my life would be
A prince and noble steed would ride into my life and rescue me
So when you showed up I thought that you might
Be my knight but it turns out your armour doesn't shine bright

Stupid little me
I've heard so many stories of what love is meant to be
All fairy tales and fantasy
Stupid little me
Trying to tell myself that you are not Prince Charming
And that maybe you're in my story but on a different page to me

I wanted you to take me to a far-off magic land
But when you built my castle, you built it out of sand
You only built it out of sand
I thought that I would be queen of your heart
But you had no plans to let me play that part

Stupid little me
I've heard so many stories of what love is meant to be
All fairy tales and fantasy
Stupid little me
Trying to tell myself that you are not Prince Charming
And that maybe you're in my story but on a different page to me

You never slayed the dragon to set me free
And ride off to the sunset, just you and stupid little me

Stupid little me
Stupid little me
Stupid little me
I've heard so many stories of what love is meant to be
All fairy tales and fantasy
Stupid little me
Trying to tell myself that you are not Prince Charming
And that maybe you're in my story
Stupid little me
Stupid little me
Stupid little me
Stupid little me
