lyrics
JP Magic
We smoked butts beneath a sky on the 4th day of July,
You said, “I love you” in a smoke-filled breath of Marlboro Lights.
And the fireworks were nice but as the smoke clears, so do wives,
But I wished upon finales that the end would spare tonight.
But that’s when the ‘Magic’ went, that’s when Disaster hit.
We were anything but innocent but it was nothing short of extraordinary.
Memories now self-aware left me to gasp for air,
And then lonely tried to kill me slow but I knew these tears were only temporary.
So I asked Natch if we could fly, between my crying eyes,
And he said, “Let’s just play a sad song off The Sound of ’59.”
“And does your guitar have a name? ‘Cause no two are the same,”
Then we christened her ‘Sweet Jennifer,’ an ocean’s stage away.
And Natch would roll The Stones while Dylan knocked the bones,
And we sang “Always and Forever” while Clint re-tracked the “Whoas”,
And Chelsea brought a song, while Rob would bang a gong,
On a 26-inch kick drum with an anchor stickered on.
But that’s when the ‘Magic’ went, that’s when Disaster hit.
We were anything but innocent but it was nothing short of extraordinary.
Memories now self-aware left me to gasp for air,
And then lonely tried to kill me slow but I knew these tears were only temporary.
And I asked Natch if we could fly, between the lows and highs,
As I wrote and drank and smoked every damn thing I could find.
“So, does your hurt still have a name? ‘Cause no two are the same.”
And then we christened her ‘Sweet Jennifer,’ put metaphor away.
But that’s when the ‘Magic’ went, that’s when Disaster hit.
We were anything but innocent but it was nothing short of extraordinary.
Memories now self-aware left me to gasp for air,
And then lonely tried to kill me slow but I knew these tears were only temporary.
And I asked Natch if we could fly, underneath the weight of lights,
And he said, ”Play a song with Jennifer on your way back to life.”
“And does your heart still have a name? ‘Cause no two are the same.”
Then we christened it ‘Sweet Nowherebound’, watched anchors float away.
And we kept looking for nowhere.
I kept wishing you were there, ‘cause there was magic in the air.
Beautiful beyond compare.
And I kept wishing you were there, ‘cause there was magic in the air.
We smoked butts beneath a sky on the 4th day of July,
You said, “I love you” in a smoke-filled breath of Marlboro Lights.
And the fireworks were nice but as the smoke clears, so do wives,
But I wished upon finales that the end would spare tonight.
But that’s when the ‘Magic’ went, that’s when Disaster hit.
We were anything but innocent but it was nothing short of extraordinary.
