Fractals Song Lyrics

Fractals by Beth Orton

You lay on your back under spider spun trees
Hallucinated on fractals of green
And thought about living with nothing to lose
With windows to see them before they see you
And you do not know how to pretend
You hoped it would all go away in the end
But you’re every person in your dream
When anything happens
It happens to you

And you
You start believing in magic

What in the world are we gonna do now
There’s nowhere to turn and there’s no one around
I s’pose in the end well that is what it is
You grow up alone and that’s what you get left
And nobody knows how to forgive
You thought it might all go away if you did
Now you’re every person in your dream
When anything happens it happens for real

And you?
You start believing in magic

(Who do you cry to)

We lay on our backs under vibrating green
Hallucinated on what it all means
Now I can be patient but just tell me how long
And why I feel like sh*t for what I didn’t do wrong
Cos I do not know how to pretend
I thought it would all go away in the end
But I’m every person in this dream
But when anything happens it doesn’t just happen to me

You start believing in magic
(Who do you cry to)
Well I’m believing in magic
(Who do you cry to)
Without believing in magic

Turning like a stone
In the hand of the unknown

I made an art out of believing in magic
But I made believe
I could take it for granted
Falling like a star
I fell into your arms
Fell into your arms

It just happened by magic
It just happened by magic
