Lyrics
When the magic of our youth fades
Reflecting on losing the wonder and enchantment of youth
Will we have enough to last the days ahead?
Questioning if there will be enough magic for the future
Full of wonder will we find regret instead?
Wondering if curiosity will be replaced by regret
Well I still have faith in whimsy
Belief in the power of imagination and fanciful thinking
And I marvel at the world we know
Appreciation for the marvels in the known world
And the things left undiscovered
Recognition of undiscovered things yet to be explored
There's always time to grow
Emphasis on the continuous potential for personal growth
When we make our own magic
Embracing the idea of creating personal magic
Unfiltered and so true
Authentic and unfiltered creation of magic
We can make our own magic
Reiterating the ability to produce personal magic
Just me and you
Shared magic between the speaker and someone else
There are days I sit and wonder
Contemplation about the depth and purpose of life
Is there more to life or really this is all?
Questioning if life is more than what's currently experienced
It's the winter, spring, the summer then the fall
Reflection on the cyclic nature of life's seasons
We repeat over and over
Noticing the repetitive nature of life's highs and lows
There are days of light then darkness and despair
Acknowledgment of alternating periods of brightness and despair
Is there someone watching over,
Querying the existence of a guiding force
Or is there really no there there?
Contemplation on the possibility of no higher power
Or can we make our own magic
Proposing the idea of self-creating magic for fulfillment
To fill out all our days?
Suggesting the ability to fill life with self-generated magic
We can make our own magic
Reiteration of the capacity to craft personal magic
In so many ways
Highlighting the various forms of creating magic
'Cause time moves on so slow and then so fast
Noting the contrasting pace of time—slow then fast
First you're counting down the minutes
Initial perception of time passing quickly
Then you're trying to make it last
Desire to prolong or savor moments
There's so much time for exploring
Emphasis on the ample time available for exploration
Then somehow it's almost gone
Realization of time slipping away despite opportunities
Our future and our place in the sun
Contemplating one's future and significance in life
(Time moves faster and slower)
Reiteration of time's variable speed as one ages
(As we grow older and older)
Highlighting the continuous aging process
(Repeating over and over)
Emphasizing the repetitive nature of life's cycles
'Cause I don't want it all to change so fast
Desire for a slower rate of change
My outlook may be different
Acknowledgment of a different perspective on life
And I don't want it all to fade away into the air
Resistance to the disappearance of meaningful experiences
(Time moves faster and slower)
Reiteration of time's variable speed as one ages
(As we grow older and older)
Highlighting the continuous aging process
(Repeating over and over)
Emphasizing the repetitive nature of life's cycles
Where do we go from here?
Questioning the direction or path for the future
(Time moves faster and slower)
Reiteration of time's variable speed as one ages
(As we grow older and older)
Highlighting the continuous aging process
(Repeating over and over)
Emphasizing the repetitive nature of life's cycles
Well I still have faith in whimsy
Continued belief in the power of imagination
And I marvel at the world we know
Appreciation for the marvels in the known world
And the things left undiscovered
Recognition of undiscovered possibilities
There's always time to grow
Encouragement for ongoing personal growth
