First appearing on the You are Here EP, Texas was the album opener on Magic Man’s debut album Before the Waves.
According to Magic Man’s Twitter, this song is about a woman named Evaline from Texas. Although the exact identity of Evaline is unknown, Caplow drew inspiration for this song from a girl...
[Intro]
You are about to embark on the most wonderful experience of your life
I will not explain at this moment how and why it works; I don’t have the time
It just does
[Hook]
[Verse 1]
Well it’s been a while, and I’ve been alone
And you’ve been the only thing I’ve known
Born in the south, at home in the north
But we could be anywhere you want
Now you’re taking me down where you grew up
I wish I had known you when we were young
You figured me out, I know I said it enough
But waiting is just too much
[Chorus]
So cover my skin with your sun-kissed light
There’s a bonfire burning tonight
We could be all right
Evaline, Evaline, Evaline, Evaline
[Hook]
Ha! Ha!
Ha! Ha!
Evaline, Evaline, Evaline, Evaline
[Verse 2]
Picture it now, down the road
Oh just say the word and I’ll go
Wherever you are, whatever the coast
You are the one I care for the most
Remember the night, we slept on the roof
Well I didn’t sleep much to tell the truth
Now we’re the sand, caught in the tide
We laugh until we cry
[Chorus]
Won't you cover my skin with your sun-kissed light
There’s a bonfire burning tonight
We could be all right
Evaline, Evaline, Evaline, Evaline
[Hook]
Oh Evaline, oh Evaline
Evaline, Evaline, Evaline, Evaline
[Bridge]
Pull me closer, hold me tighter
The nights are long but the stars are brighter
Pull me closer, hold me tighter
Take me down, take me down, take me down
[Chorus] + [Hook] (simultaneously)
Oh won’t you cover my skin with your sun-kissed light
There’s a bonfire burning tonight
We could be all right
Evaline, Evaline, Evaline, Evaline
Won't you cover my skin with your sun-kissed light
Won’t you cover my skin with your sun-kissed light
Won’t you cover my skin with your sun-kissed light
Evaline, Evaline, Evaline, Evaline
[Hook]
Ooooh
Ooooh
Evaline, Evaline, Evaline, Evaline
