[Verse 1] Copper boots on the blanket’s edge Every vision rode in on her back She’s ridden my sleep since I was small Never knocked once, never had to ask Can’t lift a hand and I can’t find air She sits like she’s got the whole night She says, “Follow the Moon through the iron pass” And the clock’s still at three when she’s out of sight [Pre-Chorus] I tell myself it’s ordinary Like a dream that comes at three But the blanket keeps a little dent Where she sat on top of me [Chorus] It’s just mundane magic Burnt coffee and a half-said word Mundane magic The smallest spell you never heard Christmas lights in the middle of July And the river singing under the street It’s just mundane magic And it won’t let me sleep [Verse 2] Six a.m. and the coffee’s burnt Frost on the windshield, Moon in the glass I talk the ice off with half a word Padma calls it cheating, but she lets it pass Fox on the porch with a mason jar Fire inside and a salt-white lid “Small work, daily,” is all she’ll say, “And this one’s waited since you were a kid” [Pre-Chorus] I tell myself it’s ordinary Like a dream that comes at three But the Moon’s been closer every morning Like the mountain’s leaning in on me [Chorus] It’s just mundane magic Burnt coffee and a half-said word Mundane magic The smallest spell you never heard Christmas lights in the middle of July And the river singing under the street It’s just mundane magic And it won’t let me sleep [Solo[ [Bridge] Padma always said, mind the little things Salt on the sill and the knot in the string The big work doesn’t knock when it comes for you It’s already been inside a while [Final Chorus] It’s just mundane magic Burnt coffee and a half-said word Mundane magic The smallest spell you never heard Christmas lights in the middle of July And the river singing under the street It’s just mundane magic And it won’t let me sleep
