A Lot Like Magic - Josh Rouse

Well, I met a man and he gave me advice

I didn’t want it at first, then I said all right

He said, «You live each day like the very last one»

So I took that line, and I wrote this song

He said, «It's all in the air, it’s a lot like magic

We make do with the best that we have

You sit still or you roam and

Something’s bound to happen»

I just shook his hand

Forgot about my plan

So I rode my bike up to Sycamore Hill

I thought hard, I thought long

On the right way to live

I had a lot of fun with a long-legged girl

And we threw our arms

Around this humdrum world

It’s all in the air, it’s a lot like magic

We make do with the best that we have

You sit still or you roam and

Something’s bound to happen

Forget about those plans

The future’s here at last

Well, the days turn to months

And the months into years

My children have grown

And I’m still standing here

I still live each day like the very last one

I rise with the birds, and I set with the sun

It’s all in the air, it’s a lot like magic

We make do with the best that we have

You sit still or you roam and

Something’s bound to happen

Forget about those plans
