PRESTO CHANGO
Summer's Spell: A Musical Odyssey of Love and Transformation
Lyrics
Been feeling old since you came 'round
Feeling old since the person mentioned came around.
Cuz baby girl do both things now
The person referred to can do both things now, suggesting a change or duality.
She sitting on the porch it's raining
She is sitting on the porch in the rain.
She do not hear a word I'm saying
She is not paying attention to what the speaker is saying.
She sitting on the porch it's raining
Repetition of lines 3-4, emphasizing her inattentiveness.
She do not hear a word I say yeah
Reiteration of her not hearing the speaker's words.
She living in the
Repetition of "She living in the," creating a sense of her lifestyle.
She living in the
-She living in the
-Been feeling old since you came 'round
Repetition of feeling old and her not hearing the speaker.
Cuz baby girl do both things now
-She sitting on the porch it's raining
-She do not hear a word I say
-She living in the summer yeah
Repetition of "She living in the summer," emphasizing her lifestyle.
She living in the summer yeah
-She living in the summer yeah
-She living in the summer yeah
-When I look I wonder what your skin feel like
Speaker wonders about the person's physical sensations, attracted to them.
Your hook is setting off my sirens think I like your kind of type
-Your sending surges to my outlet
-I'm encouraged by your output
-If I hurry I can retrace steps that you took
-Ripping pages out your book for company
-Maybe if I look you'll come to me
Describing attempts to gain the person's attention or affection.
Maybe if I scream you'll run for sure
-Maybe if I leave you'll think of me
-Ok I'm back with the killer speed
Expressing shortcomings and strengths, hoping the person can complement them.
This is what I lack and what I really need
-I can see you lack some abilities and you can see that I have the utilities and
-All my weak points man I'm sure it's your strength
-And even in the dark I've got insurance to take it
-Your the answer to my problems
Seeing the person as the solution to the speaker's problems.
know alone that I can't solve them
-So I'd really like to call you
-And I promise I can follow through
-She living in the summer
Repetition of "She living in the summer," reinforcing the theme.
She living in the summer
-She living in the summer
-She living in the
-And all that time I been spendin' in a day
Reflecting on time spent thinking about whether the person notices the speaker.
Thinkin' bout whether you notice
-Whether you- oo- oo- whether you oo- oo-
-Whether you
Hoping the person doesn't realize the speaker is broken.
And all that time I been thinkin' it away
-Hopin' you don't know I'm broken
-Baby I'm- I'm- I'm- Baby I'm hopin'
-Baby interjected switching topics and then altered plans
Change of topic, possibly involving alcohol, with a magical transformation reference.
I'm sipping on a gin and tonic and a vodka cran
-Flip it presto chango yeah she perfect for me on command
-That golden hour got me semi-awkward comic sans
Describing a golden hour and expressing infatuation.
Thinkin' 'bout us chilling on a beach in the islands
-Can I take a bite baby? You're the peach of my iris
-But since you came 'round I ain't eating and I'm squeezing my eyelids
-I showed her beats from my album and she was preaching with silence
Sharing creative work with the person, but it's met with silence.
But nevermind that, cuz I would throw my pen and pad away
-Now get your booty in a sundress put your hair up in some braids and we gon'
-We living in the summer yeah
Repetition of "We living in the summer," suggesting shared experiences.
We living in the summer yeah
-We're swimming in the sunlight yeah
-We living in the summer yeah
-We living in the summer yeah
Reiteration of living in the summer and swimming in sunlight, emphasizing a positive vibe.
We living in the summer yeah
-We're swimming in the sunlight yeah
-We living in the summer yeah
