Magic Lyrics by Local Nomad

Stranger In My Hometown

2021

[Intro]
Oh, it feels like magic, magic
It must be magic, magic

[Verse 1]
I'm not a loser, despite what they say
Just write these pop songs in my parent's basement
Don't have much money, can't really dance
But I got a degree in vocal jazz
So you don't wanna fall in love with me
'Cause I know that it's not so easy
To tell your parents that you date a music man
And I know they think I'd disappear
And leave you lonely for a year
That they don't see it, that don't mean that it ain't there

[Pre-Chorus]
It feels like magic and it's tragic
That I've been in love before and it's taken me so long
It's you, babe, and it's truе, babe
But I can't explain the way you keep on lеaving me amazed

[Chorus]
It must be magic, magic
It must be magic, magic
Oh, it feels like magic, magic
It must be magic, magic

[Verse 2]
She calls me Michael, it turns me on
Nobody's told me that since 2004
And this is my last year in New York
It's something that I can't afford
So let's spin the globe and end up where it falls

[Pre-Chorus]
It feels like magic and it's tragic
That I've been in love before and it's taken me so long
It's you, babe, and it's true, babe
But I can't explain the way you keep on leaving me amazed

[Chorus]
It must be magic, magic
It must be magic, magic
Oh, it feels like magic, magic
It must be magic, magic

[Bridge]
Abracadabra, alakazam
I was under a spell
Until you took my hand
And said, "Abracadabra, alakazam"
I don't know what it is, but

[Chorus]
Oh, it feels like magic, magic
It must be magic, magic
Oh, it feels like magic, magic
It must be magic, magic
