magic hour

by brendan philip mccusker

chorus

press rewind and start again i wanna

play that scene when we first met

slow down time to watch you walking

over, over, over

verse 1

silver screen perfection, golden earrings, and hazel eyes

you were staring back at me; glowing in the night

calling all attention, i was overtaken by surprise

now your face is all i see, when i turn out the light

pre

lay awake till the sun comes up thinking

through every word that you said

i could wait forever just to hear your voice in my head

chorus

press rewind and start again i wanna

play that scene when we first met

slow down time to watch you walking

over, over, over

cast myself the leading role before it

fades out to a life alone

don’t wait magic hour’s almost

over, over, over

verse 2

i can hear myself, stum-b-ling over those lousy lines

you were waiting patiently, laughing as i tried

on the day you left i told you i would look for the signs

now your face is all i see, in darkness and in light

pre 2

lay awake till the sun comes up thinking

through every word that you said

i could wait forever just to hear your

voice again, voice again

my mistake, i was caught up wishing that

you would be here but instead

i’ll wait forever just to hear your voice in my head

chorus

press rewind and start again i wanna

play that scene when we first met

slow down time to watch you walking

over, over, over

cast myself the leading role before it

fades out to a life alone

don’t wait magic hour’s almost

over, over, over
