Apollo
Magic Man/Magic Man Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's not beneath me when I say
You're not so different now
Stop this thing again and see
But ever since the day I started learning
I know that you're the one that I've been dreaming about

Won't you take my hand like I know you will
When you're sparkling madly in the moonlight
Don't you understand that I need you still
When you're sparkling madly in the moonlight

I need you to take up
Or swear that I will come back from this place
We're falling asleep in the backseat of your back
We'll wake up in the snow that'll bury all our troubles

Won't you take my hand like I know you will
When you're sparkling madly in the moonlight
Don't you understand that I need you still
When you're sparkling madly in the moonlight

So stand by, someday we'll call out
And hold it together
So stand by, someday we'll call out
Can't you hold it together

Won't you take my hand like I know you will
When you're sparkling madly in the moonlight




Don't you understand that I need you still
When you're sparkling madly in the moonlight

It's not beneath me when I say
I don't feel superior when I say


You're not so different now
You're like me in many ways


Stop this thing again and see
Let's pause this and evaluate it anew


But ever since the day I started learning
Since I began to learn


I know that you're the one that I've been dreaming about
I realize you're the one I've always wanted


Won't you take my hand like I know you will
Please hold my hand like I believe you will


When you're sparkling madly in the moonlight
When you shine brightly in the moon's light


Don't you understand that I need you still
Don't you see that I still need you


I need you to take up
I need you to take action


Or swear that I will come back from this place
Promise that I will return


We're falling asleep in the backseat of your back
We're dozing off in your car's backseat


We'll wake up in the snow that'll bury all our troubles
We'll wake up under snow that will cover our problems


So stand by, someday we'll call out
Wait, we'll reach out someday


And hold it together
And keep things from falling apart


Can't you hold it together
Can't you keep things from crumbling
