[Verse 1]

Sparks fly every time I

Identify a species I have hitherto never

Seen in the field, seen in the feather

Sparkbird, destiny drew us together

Every smile line on my face can be retraced

Down to the split second

Down to the split place

[Chorus]

Is it magical thinking

Or is it magical realism?

Or is it neither here nor there?

Every time I check my wrist

It's another brand new freckle

Past another brand new hair

I'm growing up, up, up

Against my will, will

Will you finally resurrect

The time I've killed?

Will you finally resurrect

The time I've killed, killed, killed?

[Verse 2]

Sparks fly every time I visit this park

I envision the phantom

Of a giddy little cartoon me

Jittering on the electrifying

Cusp of discovery

Before and after the storm

All I wanted was to be seen

And to see

[Bridge]

Some signs of a world still

Turning, turning, turning

Some signs of a world still

Forming, forming, forming

Rebirth of a dream still

Burning, burning, burning

[Chorus]

Is it magical thinking

Or is it magical realism?

Or is it neither here nor there?

Every time I check my wrist

It's another brand new freckle

Past another brand new hair

I'm growing up, up, up

Against my will, will

Will you finally resurrect

The time I've killed?

Will you finally resurrect

The time I've killed, killed, killed?

[Outro]
