[Verse 1]
You told me there were fairies in the backyard so I whispered
Every time the tulips grew
You told me there’s a bowling alley underneath the mess hall
So I listened close for all the strikes you threw
You told me you had magic powers to take away my hiccups
I still wonder how it worked every time
You told me that one day I’d be in the driver’s seat of my own life
And it might get kinda scary but it'd be mine

[Chorus]
Some of this magic has faded
But don’t you dare call me jaded
'Cause I’m sitting in the front seat
Crank the music, blast the heat
And I’m casting spells on my life left and right

[Verse 2]
You told me shooting for the moon was worth it so I listened
Even if I miss I’ll land among the stars
You told me if you use imagination
All the farthest magic kingdoms can exist right where you are
But then I started growing, the evidence started showing that
These tall tales were gilded with lies
They told me to be practical, these idioms weren’t factual
It’s time to let these silly visions die
[Chorus]
Some of this magic has faded
But don’t you dare make me jaded
'Cause I’m closer than I seem
I’m staring at my wildest dreams
I’m out here casting spells on my life left and right
