Casting Spells

[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
