Never believe it's not so
It's magic you know
Never believe it's not so
Never been awake
Never seen a day break
Leaning on my pillow in the morning
Crazy music playing in the morning light
It's magic you know
Never believe it's not so
It's magic you know
Never believe it's not so
I love my sunny day
Dream of far away
Dreaming on my pillow in the morning
Never been awake
Never seen a day break
Leaning on my pillow in the morning light
It's magic you know
Never believe it's not so
It's magic you know
Never believe it's not so
It's magic you know
Never believe it's not so
It's magic you know
Never believe it's not so
The lyrics of Pilot's song "Magic" talk about the magical feeling of a lazy day spent in bed with music playing in the morning light. The singer expresses how it feels like magic and encourages the listeners to believe it. The repetition of the phrase "Never believe it's not so" reinforces the idea that this feeling is real and should not be dismissed.
The song paints a vivid picture of someone who has never seen a day break and is always lost in their thoughts. They dream of faraway places and love their sunny days. The lyrics are simple and easy to follow, but they convey a powerful message of appreciating the beauty in life's small moments.
