Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'ma creator of sweet magic
Just wave my wand and you can grab it
It's like abracadabra and you can have it
No dream for me is too elaborate
But this ain't all top hats and rabbits
Sometimes truth can be savage
Sometimes life can be tragic
But we just love through the madness
Through the pain, the mistakes, and the sadness
Through the rain, and the breaks, and the static
Livin' in a world that attacks us
We stay centered wit' our hearts on axis, preach
[Chorus]
Nobody knows
More than you
These hard times that we are living through
But hard times
We can get over, yeah
But hard times
We can get over, yeah
[Verse 2]
The roller coast of being alive
High off life when I open my eyes
Wide awake, still dreaming
No dream needed, my dream girl beamin'
No past or future, I'm present in the moment
So bad, you gotta be a good omen
Beautiful, you belong in the MOMA
They just found out, we always known it
Oh, you fancy, huh?
Oh, you priceless, despite that you antsy, huh?
Yeah, we fight some but we end up dancin', huh
I see you lookin' at me, you think I'm handsome, huh?
[Chorus]
Nobody knows
More than you
These hard times that we are living through
But hard times
We can get over, yeah
But hard times
We can get over, yeah
[Chorus]
Nobody knows
More than you
These hard times that we are living through
But hard times
We can get over, yeah
But hard times
We can get over, yeah
