[Verse 1]
I still remember what it felt like
Seein' Paris for the first time
How the streetlights shine when it rains all night
I remember what it felt like
[Verse 2]
And that's a thing I hold on to
When I got nowhere to run to
When my feet get tired walkin' on a highwire
Just tryna hold on
[Pre-Chorus]
If you asked me, I'm not jaded
But I'm two seconds from breakin'
[Chorus]
I'd give it all up to get back to when
I didn't think about what would happen next
I'd give it all up to get it back again
I still believe, I still believe in magic
[Post-Chorus]
I still believe, I still believe in magic
I still believe, I still believe
[Verse 3]
I'm still puttin' up a good fight
But now I'm prayin' for a lifeline
And I wonder how long I can even go on
If this is what it's gonna feel like
[Pre-Chorus]
I wonder where the stars went
They shine brighter in the darkness
[Chorus]
I'd give it all up to get back to when
I didn't think about what would happen next
I'd give it all up to get it back again
I still believe, I still believe in
Lookin' up high when I'm wonderin'
If one day this is gonna mean somethin'
But I'd give it all up to get it back again
I still believe, I still believe
[Post-Chorus]
Will I always be
Holdin' my breath, tryin' to swim upstream?
Crazy as it might seem
I still believe, I still believe in magic
After all this time
Seein' a spark through the tears I've cried
And I don't know why
I still believe, I still believe in magic
I still believe, I still believe in magic
[Bridge]
I'd give it all up, I'd give it all up
I'd give it all up, I'd give it all up
I'd give it all up, I'd give it all up
Mm
[Chorus]
I'd give it all up to get back to when
I didn't think about what would happen next
I'd give it all up to get it back again
I still believe, I still believe
[Post-Chorus]
Maybe I won't always be
Holdin' my breath, tryin' to swim upstream
I'd give it all up to get it back again
I still believe, I still believe in magic
After all this time
Seein' a spark through the tears I've cried
I'd give it all up to get it back again
I still believe, I still believe in magic
I still believe, I still believe in magic
