[Intro: electric piano, tight drums, clean guitar] Roll out slow Morning light on the glass Six days gone How’d it move so fast? [Verse 1: smooth, conversational] Everybody’s tired Everybody’s packed Somebody’s looking for a charger Somebody’s checking snacks Kids in the backseat Half asleep again Dad says, “What’s the plan now?” Like he ever knew the plan then You had the meals You had the times You had the map in your hand You had the whole week moving Like a one-woman band [Pre-Chorus: harmony vocals enter] When the standby line looked easy When the Lightning Lane got tight You were doing park math In the middle of the night [Chorus: rich stacked harmonies] The magic ran because of you Every ride, every reservation too Every little miracle we wandered through The magic ran because of you You kept the whole thing shining bright Through the heat and the rain and the fireworks light We got the trip we never could have planned Because you had the whole world in your hands [Verse 2: slightly funkier] D-A-S check-in Dinner right on time Guardians, Teacups, Bayou drops All lined up just fine You knew when to push it You knew when to rest Knew when a popcorn break Was really for the best Grandad had questions Dad had jokes Kids had feelings Everybody needed Cokes But you kept smiling With that look in your eye Like, “I have seventeen tabs open And I still know why” [Pre-Chorus: smoother, building] When the whole day started sliding You could make the pieces fit Find a show, find some shade Find a way to rescue it [Chorus: full, soulful] The magic ran because of you Every ride, every reservation too Every little miracle we wandered through The magic ran because of you You kept the whole thing shining bright Through the heat and the rain and the fireworks light We got the trip we never could have planned Because you had the whole world in your hands [Bridge: Steely, wry, with electric piano] There’s a science to the timing There’s an art to getting through There’s a woman with a phone out Making dreams come true Not with pixie dust or wishes Not with castles in the air Just meal slots, ride times And a thousand acts of care [Final Chorus: bigger harmonies, still smooth] The magic ran because of you Every smile, every tired breakthrough Every bus ride, every perfect view The magic ran because of you Now we’re rolling home in the morning light Suitcases heavy, hearts just right We got six days we’ll never lose And the magic ran because of you [Outro: soft electric piano, stacked harmony tag] The magic ran The magic ran The magic ran Because of you
