Those Magic Changes
Jordan Fisher Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What's that playing on the radio?
Why do I start swaying to and fro?
I have never heard that song before
But if I don't hear it anymore
It's still familiar to me
Sends a thrill right through me
'Cause those chords remind me
Of the night that I first fell in love to

Those magic changes
My heart arranges
A melody that's never the same
A melody that's calling your name
And begs you please come back to me
Please return to me
Don't go away again
Oh make them play again
The music I wanna hear as once again
You whisper in my ear
Oh, my darling, uh huh

I'll be waiting by the radio
You'll come back to me someday, I know
Been so lonesome since our last goodbye
But I'm singing as I cry-ay-ay

While the bass is sounding
While the drums are pounding
Beating of my broken heart
Will rise to first place on the charts

Oh, my heart arranges
Oh, those magic changes

Those magic changes
My heart arranges
A melody that's never the same
A melody that's calling your name
And begs you please come back to me
Please return to me

I'll be waiting by the radio
You'll come back to me someday, I know
Been so lonesome since our last goodbye
But I'm singing as I cry-ay-ay

While the bass is sounding
While the drums are pounding
Beating of my broken heart
Will rise to first place on the charts

Oh, my heart arranges
Oh, those magic changes

Whoa oh, whoa oh oh




Whoa oh, whoa oh oh
Oh yeah
