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, watch words would open up the page A coats mystery [?] Lanterns ever west wind, dancing in the drain Oh Magdalena, weep and clean

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
