The Magnetic Fields Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We went to see the Magnetic Fields at Theatre Corona
I maybe had one too many drinks
But I was grateful to you for showing up
Tickets were sold out but I scored us two
And that gave me points with you
That gave me points with you
That I went on to use

[Verse 2]
The theatre was dark and the band was sitting down
You held my hand and got closer
I was so glad you were around
And they played with confidence and resolve
And I wasn’t nervous, no I wasn’t nervous at all
I wasn’t nervous at all

[Chorus]
Don’t want to paint you in a harsh light
Don’t want to paint you on a dark night
I thought if I said you were evil
I would get over it еasier
But I didn’t get over it at all
Not in thе winter or the fall
Or the summer or the spring
Never got over anything
[Verse 3]
After the show you brought me home in a taxi
I was feeling a little sick
And you just wanted to relax with me
But I asked you to go
Guess I wanted to wake up all alone
Wake up all alone

[Chorus]
Don’t want to paint you in a harsh light
Don’t want to paint you on a dark night
I thought if I said you were evil
I would get over it easier
But I didn’t get over it at all
Not in the winter or the fall
Or the summer or the spring
Never got over anything
Never got over anything

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
