Magic
Coldplay [Ghost Stories] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Call it magic, call it true
I call it magic when I'm with you
And I just got broken, broken into two
Still I call it magic, when I'm next to you

And I don't, and I don't, and I don't, and I don't
No I don't, it's true
I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't
Want anybody else but you

I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't
No I don't, it's true
I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't
Want anybody else but you

Ooh ooh ooh

Call it magic, cut me into two
And with all your magic, I disappear from view
And I can't get over, can't get over you
Still, I call it magic, such a precious truth

And I don't, and I don't, and I don't, and I don't
No I don't, it's true
I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't
Want anybody else but you

I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't
No I don't, it's true
I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't, no, I don't
Want anybody else but you

Wanna fall, I fall so far
I wanna fall, fall so hard
And I call it magic
And I call it true
Call it magic

Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh

And if you were to ask me
After all that we've been through
Still believe in magic?
Well yes, I do
Oh yes, I do
Oh yes, I do




Oh yes, I do
Of course I do

The chorus of the song highlights the beauty and wonder of falling in love. The singer longs to fall deeply and completely for their love, and they call this feeling magic. The final stanza presents a rhetorical question asking if one still believes in magic after experiencing a difficult journey with their partner. The singer responds with a resounding "yes," emphasizing the transformative power of love and the importance of holding onto the feeling of hope and wonder.


Overall, "Magic" is a powerful testament to the ability of love to create a sense of magic and wonder in one's life, even in the face of heartbreak and struggle.
