Lyrics
You lay on your back under spider-spun trees
Hallucinated on fractals of green
And thought about living with nothing to lose
With windows to see them, before they see you
And you do not know how to pretend
You hoped it would all go away in the end
But you're every person in your dream
When anything happens, it happens to you
And you
You start believing in magic
What in the world are we gonna do now?
There's nowhere to turn and there's no one around
I s'pose in the end, well that is what it is
You grow up alone and that's what you get left
And nobody knows how to forgive
You thought it might all go away, if you did
Now you're every person in your dream
When anything happens, it happens for real
<span begin="1:36.930" end="1:37.564">And you?</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="1:37.564" end="1:40.415">(Who do you cry to?)</span></span>
<span begin="1:43.615" end="1:46.117">You start believing in magic</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="1:45.433" end="1:48.034">(Who do you cry to?)</span></span>
We lay on our back under vibrating green
Hallucinated on what it all means
Now I could be patient, but just tell me how long
And why I feel like shit for what I didn't do wrong
‘Cause I do not know how to pretend
I thought it would all go away in the end
But I'm every person in this dream
<span begin="2:36.597" end="2:41.016">And when anything happens, it doesn't just happen to me</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="2:40.948" end="2:43.617">(Who do you cry to?)</span></span>
<span begin="2:47.193" end="2:49.641">You start believing in magic</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="2:48.793" end="2:51.660">(Who do you cry to?)</span></span>
<span begin="2:55.012" end="2:58.279">Well, I'm believing in magic</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="2:56.845" end="2:59.781">(Who do you cry to?)</span></span>
<span begin="3:02.930" end="3:06.480">Without believing in magic</span> <span ttm:role="x-bg"><span begin="3:04.687" end="3:07.723">(Who do you cry to?)</span></span>
Turning like a stone
In the hand of the unknown
And I made an art, oh, out of believing in magic
But I made believe
I could take it for granted
Falling like a star
I fell into your arms
Fell into your arms
It just happened by magic
It just happened by magic
Every person in your dream
