lyrics
I'm back again and I'm ready to floor
Heard my name upon a whisper so it's time for a roar
And my magic on and off the stage is better than before
My friends all say that my magic's an art
So I wrote a brand new show and then I tore it apart
Headed back to where I’m from, and I'm rebranded for a brand new start
Everybody says that I'm moving too fast
And everybody says that this moment won't last
Everybody says that I probably should take it slow
Everybody says that I’m doing just fine
But I won’t be content unless my heart’s on the line
Everybody says “Hey Trixie, you’re a magic show!”
I kick back--flash!--in a cloud I am gone
And then everybody’s cheering that the show must go on
I shoot a firework that heats up their hearts ’til dawn
Two lovers kiss between the flashes of light
When the encore's done they slink away off into the night
Now I know I'm not the best but if I caused a spark then that's alright
Somewhere I'll be welcomed and accepted
Somewhere I'll be cheered for and expected
And when I'm there I'll wow the crowds and I will finally know
Just how it feels to hear them say…
Some day I will show them I can win it
Some how I will conquer all my limits
I don’t care how long it takes, how far I have to go
Everyone is gonna say “Hey Trixie, you’re magic!”
