Fairytale
Sons Of Jim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So long ‘til dawn, no longer uptight
No need to worry for a while
Angel eyes, why do you leave me when it's just right
Always deceive me, then you take flight
No need to worry for a while
Same morning, pick up the pieces and
Away from your lies and all your sweet talking
No need to worry for a while
Sometimes it's short and sometimes it's long
Sometimes I'm right and sometimes wrong
You can run into me, when you're
running away
And I hope that time can make the change
Maybe happiness is just another fairytale
Bright eyes, hard to remember when we first met
Now you're my sunrise and my sunset
Always deceive me with a smile
Still learning, by the crazy world that keeps turning
And a crimson sun that keeps burning
And it's burning all the time
Sometimes it's short and sometimes it's long
Sometimes I'm right and sometimes wrong
You can run into me, when you're
running away
And I hope that time can make the change
Maybe happiness is just another fairytale
It's just another fairytale
Baby, you're running
Baby, you're running
Baby, you're running away
Yeah, baby, you're running
Baby, you're running
Baby, you're running
Sometimes it's short and sometimes it's long
Sometimes I'm right and sometimes I'm wrong, yeah
Baby, you're running
Maybe happiness is just another fairytale
Bright eyes, where do you wander on this dark night
So long ‘til dawn, no longer uptight
No need to worry for a while
The song "Fairytale" by Sons of Jim seems to be about a romantic relationship that is volatile and unpredictable. The lyrics hint at the idea that the singer is in love with someone who is not always faithful and tends to leave when things are going well. They express frustration with this person's behavior but also seem to be holding onto the hope that things will eventually work out.
The opening lines of the song set the scene for a dark and uncertain night, but the singer seems to be at ease with the situation. They are no longer "uptight" and are able to let go of their worries for a while. It's as though they have accepted the unpredictability of their relationship and are content to just live in the moment.
Later in the song, the lyrics mention the idea that happiness may just be another fairytale. This could be interpreted as the singer's way of acknowledging that their relationship may not have a happy ending, but they are willing to try anyway. The repeated refrain of "sometimes it's short and sometimes it's long, sometimes I'm right and sometimes I'm wrong" reinforces the idea that relationships are never easy and require a lot of compromise and patience.
Overall, "Fairytale" is a bittersweet song about the ups and downs of love. It's a reminder that relationships are complex and unpredictable, but there is still hope that things will eventually work out.

@DebOlliff
Is there anything Jamie can't do? Beautiful.
@denisejasovich9587
No, because he's Christian Grey!! hahaha
@LaUrAcHeN97
Don't forget.. Christian Grey is not able to cut food. :D
@annmarsh1227
Sure failing is the one thing Jamie can't do.
@silviemartins
@@annmarsh1227 In fact he can as can cook. The one who coudn't was Christian Grey...
@mili_8537
What a beautiful and soft voice... James, you are a very pandora's box! ♥
@4aapjes
It just hurts how perfect this guy is.
@debh7576
It's too bad that he didn't get the exposure when he first recorded all these songs. I'm glad that he's getting the recognition that he deserves because he's very good! Sometimes, it takes a movie or a series to expose us to talented singers that we would've never known about. This happens a lot w/Soap Operas like GH. I've discovered so many singers and bands on that show. Thanks to all the people for exposing us to Jamie Dornan w/his music and all the other singers. He shouldn't stop singing!
@joyfont
i'm shocked! Jamies voice is sooooooooooooooooo amazing!!!
