Song lyrics
I know
You know
We don't see 
We sow our truth
Wait patiently 

I walk these streets with a song in my head 
We ebb and we flow so 
Got my toes on my pup at the foot of my bed 
My heart always seems to know 
Now take the glitz back
I want the soul instead 'cause I found some kind of fairytale 

I used to hover outside my truth 
Always worry of what I'd lose 

Take away my record deal 
Go on
I don't need it 
Spent the last 2 years getting to what's real 
And now I can see so clear 
I hope you feel just like I feel 
I found some kind of fairytale 

Oh
Oh
Oh

Want a garden by the ocean tide 
Because I lose my way searching for stage lights 
Well Stevie knows and I thank her so 
'Cause it's your seeds I sow and now I know 

Nolita flat on rent control 
That's the life I choose 
And you drag me to the fashion show 
The poses that I see through 
The movies in the afternoon 
'Cause I found some kind of fairytale 
Hey

Nolita fairytale 
(Ba da da da da da)
(Ba da da da da da) 
Nolita fairytale 
(Ba da da da da da)
(Ba da da da da da)  
Nolita fairytale 
Nolita fairytale 
Nolita fairytale

I hope this gets Nessa back on the spotlight. This song is really catchy. It makes you stop and listen, whether you like it or not. The "take away my record deal" part was about her deal at A&M after poorly supporting Harmonium. And she's talking about stevie nicks in this song too.

Awesome comeback!

To me this song is about her life and wha she wants to accomplish, she wants to live a simpla and real life away from fake people, whilst inspiring people with her gift of music.

I love the song and knowing alot about her it makes sense to me, but people who dont know much bout her won't tottaly understand it, which is a shame but also a blessing as it shows she makes the music for her and her fans not just to attract new fans.

The lyrics are soo honest...It proves that only simple things can bring happiness in life as this verse explains:

I walk the streets with a song in my head
we ebb and we flow so
got my tows on my pup at the foot of my bed
my heart always seems to know
take the glitz back
I want the soul instead
cause I’ve found some kind of fairytale

Good job Vanessa
