Part Time Magician

lyrics

When I get you alone, reality hits
I can't call your phone cause you're calling it quits
I feel it deep inside, but I don't want to know
Find place I can hide and avoid the show

I'll hunt you down in a little while
But I'm fine for now, while you're gone
Cause I've got time just to mess around
Time to relax, now that's gold

I spend most of my days doing magic tricks
I spend the rest of the nights playing pick-up sticks
Bring the light of day to the dead of the night
And then,
And then I wouldn't have to fight

I find myself in the meantime
Then I find where else I could go
Cause I'm not happy wearing a fake smile
And doing whatever else that I'm told

I spend most of my days doing magic tricks
I spend the rest of the nights playing pick-up sticks
Bring the light of day to the dead of the night
And then,
And then I wouldn't have to fight

Little while I'll be softly sleeping
Little while I'll be heading home
Stop the child from rashly speaking
He knows not where he's chosen to go

It was the dead of night when it hit me
I found out that I was wrong
It’s the fight of life that moves you
It's what makes your house your home
