verse 1
If I were a magician
I’ll tell you what I’d do.
I’d conjure up your future
And show it all to you.
My magic’s all illusion:
Water bottle, plastic flower.
All the things that you will make
Will unfold in their own hour.
chorus
All I know is you should know
I’m out here looking out for you.
Everything you’ve ever wanted
Soon will come your way.
No one does it solo only.
Everyone gets sad and lonely.
Don’t forget that out here someone
Loves you every day.
verse 2
If I were a time traveler
I know just when I’d go.
Back to the place I first met you.
I’d tell you all I know.
But when I built my time machine
It turned out to be fake
And left me with a craving
For your famous pirate cake.
chorus
bridge
If we could both be pirates
My eye patch would be cool
We’d go right through the book and break
Each and every rule
But I’m no jolly roger
Never sailed the seven seas
I never went to Narnia
Nor met the Pevensies
chorus
verse 3
If I were a mixer,
You know that I would be
A stand-up mixer, fully charged
With electricity.
’Cause you deserve a mixer
That’s magical and fine,
Sent to you in a time machine
From 1959.
chorus
