gravity has no bearing
on those who don't believe
and magic is what magic wants to be
who are we to say yes or no
who are we to define
and you tell me
falling is flying when you're upside down
and we're spiraling through giggles
touching each other to be sure
we're really here
it's like fairy lights at dusk
whispering through the trees
i catch the shine in your eyes
the mischief of that smile
and i follow, enchanted, dreaming
i can't believe it's you
but intermission comes too quickly
and the house lights burn
reality trips, uncomfortable, awkward
and magic looks threadworn
under the strain
and i know that familiar shape
isn't love, but just a cardboard cutout
of the passion i used to know
ah
but it's magic when the curtain's drawn
and beautiful at twilight
and even cardboard cutouts look
as if they're reaching out
