Kait Berreckman - Magpie Lyrics

The tip of my thumb is numb from sliding across the screen to see you
The edge of my eye is dry, I try to blink but I can't seem to
I make a run for the door, the floor is kind enough to greet me
It's cool on my face, I take the place of others who precede me

How could I fall for it?
How could I?
How could I fall for it?
Like a Magpie to the shine
After all this time

I need a magic eraser to make some space for a breakthrough calculation
I thought I got it but I just taught my dog a salutation
He makes a show but I don't notice if it's fact or fiction
Who to believe if I can't see the signs that I am missing

How could I fall for it?
How could I?
How could I fall for it?
Like a Magpie to the shine
After all this time

I collect my little prizes
Hold 'em up to the light
They might lose their shine tonight
But tomorrow there will be another little something bright

And I will fall for it
I will
I will fall for it
Like a Magpie to the shine
I will fall for it
I will
I will fall for it
Like a Magpie to the shine
Every single time
