There's more to life
Then stockpiling
Boats to float
And rocks to flaunt

There's more to life
Than golden dreams
All that glitters
Ain't always gold

Second guess or we lose
Man I meant no troubled news
Jump the wharf
Into the breeze
Take a dive
Into the make believe

Let's set sail
I'm not that boy who fails
I don't believe you don't believe in fairytales

Jokes aside
I'm yet to realise
All the noise you make
Is to disguise
That you're confused
Well I'm confused
If you wonder if you have me, you do

Let's set sail
I'm not that boy who fails
I don't believe you don't believe in

Fairytales can make you question
Is fear truly so hard
It's not like every ending
Don't ever have a start

So let's set sail
I'm not that boy who fails
I don't believe you don't believe in fairytales
