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 mine Some of this magic has faded But don't you dare call me jaded Because I'm sitting the front seat Crank the music, blast the heat Because I'm casting spells on my life left and right You told me shooting for the moon was worth it and 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 Some of this magic has faded But don't you dare make me jaded Because 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
