If I had a magic lamp I couldn't say with ease that I wouldn't wish for nothing less Than your love, if you please Or a transformation into one You're dying just to meet Then I could sing my love songs to you Strongly, sour, sweet Or maybe if I had the chance I'd wish to do without The echo chamber in my head That amplifies my doubt But if I couldn't get those Then I know I'd wish for sure For a world in which we never met Since it's me you ignore And I wonder why you think I'm tripe And I wonder why you always seem subtracted from me It's as simple as I'm not your type It's as simple as you've never been attracted to me It's as simple as you and I are two different people Nothing's ever gonna change the way things are And If you had a magic lamp What wish won't you make Is it me to have and hold, my love And have my heart to break Or would it be to mend it up And keep it in your palms And show there's surely Gilead In which there's surely balm Or would it be to start again And turn back upside down The hour glass so full of sand And fill our world with sound But you are much like Helen With a thousand ships to sail And for us to be together Quills would have to turn to Quails And I walk around with yellow stripes And I walk around and think of how distracted I'd be If I turned myself into your type And you found yourself so magically attracted to me Would you turn around, and say that we are similar people Or would I walk and let things stay the way they are Torch a tel, I swim all Break the spell, break my fall Torch a tel, I swim all Make it swell, make us tall Torch a tel, I swim all Carthage fell, full of salt Torch a tel, I swim all Not in hell, not at all Torch a tel, I swim all Break the spell, break my fall Torch a tel, I swim all Make it swell, make us tall And if I had a magic lamp I might just wish for gold Or treasure or ability Or never growing old And I would sooner put it back Than compromise your will So let me watch you walk away While I stay standing still And I wonder why you think I'm tripe. And I wonder why you always seem subtracted from me It's as simple as I'm not your type It's as simple as You've never been attracted to me It's as simple as You and I are two different people Nothing's ever gonna change
