Almost Magic from Almost Magic by Jasper Lewis

Papa's in the back pitching cans into the lake
Mama's trying to make a little money
it's cats and dogs in the hills up the way
but it's warm and dry in the valley

You found your way out of this hole in the ground
and you made out like a bandit
but don't you dare look back
living without a past,
it's almost magic.

I never felt this kind of heartbeat before
the DJ learned a new number
Now we're leaving it all on the floor
we roll and break just like thunder

We found our way out of that hole in the ground
and we rose up from the ashes
we did it for the laugh,
just to practice the craft
it's almost magic.

So go ahead and call your song
you've been hiding in the dark too long
give us all something to remember

Before you come back in style
and the judge throws out your trial
and your last detractor says whatever, forever

You'll find your way out of that hole in the ground
and you'll make out like a bandit
but like a finger snap
it's all gone in a flash
it's almost tragic..
it's almost magic
