"Folktales" lyrics

She reminds me of folktales
And there's a kid in me
Laying down at the foot of my bed
He smiles while he reads
She told me it's hard to open up
But she doesn't know that I'm just like her
He would do just anything
And I'll cross my heart and I'll hope to die

She reminds me of a fairy
She reminds me, well she has to be

She's a folktale
She's a folktale
She's a folktale
She's a folktale

But she doesn't see herself
Like the myth that I quite see
Something like a fairytale
And the stuff that makes our dreams
Hear her name when there's a wind
And a prayer when she speaks
And I swear on my last breath
There's no way that she can't

She reminds me, how eerie
She reminds me, well she has to be

She's a folktale
She's a folktale
She's a folktale
She's a folktale
