Lyrics[edit | edit source]

magdalena, what faith is better than the next?
fortune lies that will untwitch
i felt you lovely and I held you as a wretch
oh magdalena, how’d this end?

wish it got a problem
wish it got a one wave heart
wish it got dreamy
wish it got a blazing buzz

never would’ve sustained us
never wanted what they thought
wish it got the best of times
you forgot the things you love

magdalena, watchwords would open up the page
a code's mysterium and beige
lanterns ever west wind, dancing in the drain
oh magdalena, weep and bleed

i taught the zenith and i rushed a passion’s end
oh magdalena, how’d this end?

wish it got a problem
wish it got a one wave heart
wish it got dreamy
wish it got a blazing buzz

never would’ve sustained us
never wanted what they thought
wish it got the best of times
you forgot the things you love

never wanted easy
never wanted what they thought
wish i got the best of times
you forgot the things you love

wish it got a problem
wish it got a one wave heart
wish it got dreamy
wish it got a blazing buzz

never would’ve sustained us
never wanted what they thought
wish it got the best of times
you forgot the things you love
