Kevin Devine Magic Magnet Lyrics

She's a magic magnet
I'm a ways away
I'm a moving target
She likes me anyway

She is technicolor
In a daydream swirl
I'm expanding circles
In a shrinking world

I can believe it
Nobody says I should
It just takes so long
To whitewash my wrongs
For good

[Chorus]
I watch the sun die
I watch the sun die
I watch the sun die
It's murder, every night

She's a magic magnet I'm a wild wave
In an angry ocean
She tells me that's okay

She is heat and honey
In a choke caress
When she asks "What scares you?"
I say "Myself, I guess"

And I can believe it
Though I don't think I should
It drags you along
Til you're trapped in your songs for good

[Chorus] x2

It just takes so long
To whitewash my wrongs
For good

[Chorus] x2
