Lyrics:

Magnolia
She could have anyone in the world
Floats around town in a golden gown
Born in a castle on a cloud

Magnolia
Prettiest girl that I know
Stars in her eyes
Hand picked from the skies
Beautiful soul

How can I compete with her
Perfection is the only word
I think of when i think of Magnolia
She doesn’t know that the world is turning just for her
I wish I could be Magnolia

Magnolia
She can move oceans and rivers with ease
A word from her lips
Her sirens kiss
Will send you straight into abyss

Magnolia
I wish she’d give her secrets away
Enchants everyone
And I think it’d be fun
To be like her someday

But I cannot compete with her
Perfection is the only word
I think of when I think of Magnolia
She doesn’t know that the world is turning just for her
I wish I could be Magnolia
Magnolia

[adriannap]

“Stars in her eyes handpicked from the skies” hits different... GORGEOUS

[jocelynwinona]

the fact that i can literally imagine what magnolia would look like shows how talented laufey is

[makaylabagasao]

this is so stunning. reminds me of those songs that your mom, or grandma would sing gently to you as a baby, this is so beautiful. i’m in tears, laufey is painfully underrated.

Magnolia
She could have anyone in the world
Floats around town in a golden gown
Born in a castle on a cloud
Magnolia
Prettiest girl that I know
Stars in her eyes
Handpicked from the skies
Beautiful soul
How can I compete with her?
Perfection is the only word
I think of when I think of Magnolia
She doesn't know that the world is turning just for her
I wish I could be Magnolia
Magnolia
She can move oceans and rivers with ease
A word from her lips
Her sirens kiss
Will send you straight into abyss
Magnolia
I wish she'd give her secrets away
Enchants everyone
And I think it'd be fun
To be like her someday
But I cannot compete with her
Perfection is the only word
I think of when I think of Magnolia
She doesn't know that the world is turning just for her
I wish I could be Magnolia Magnolia

I had a friend who passed away who was called Meg, and we planted a “Meg”nolia tree in her honor. She was the prettiest girl I knew and this song makes me think of her. Beautiful soul. Enchants everyone I think it’d be fun to be her someday. But I cannot compete with her, perfection is the only word, I think of when I think of Magnolia.

[KenoSNeal]

Laufey is truly one of the great upcoming artists of a generation.

[laura_rovetti]

this song gives me major Heather vibes but more dainty and endearing and I love it

[nicolazzmusik]

This is going to be a jazz standard in 10 years. <3

[dannymooreheadmusic]

This is like a reverse lullaby, instead of trying to send you to sleep, it keeps you in dreamland

[internetdinosaur]

Music I listen to when the homies aren't around

[jadjax]

"stars in her eyes, hand picked from the sky"
adding THAT to my tattoo list

[adelia_khalid]

The world is turning just for her hits different

[charlievean]

I have a baby cousin named magnolia and I put this song for her and she smiles calms down and sleeps thank you laufy

[ihavenobraincellsleft]

I played this song for a clarinet solo today! A lot of my friends and teachers said it was a gorgeous song, and I picked it because I thought it was the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard. Thank you Laufey for this masterpiece :)

[harhccha]

Transportive, magical, sorrowful - it's a unique kind of tragedy when someone isn't able to recognize their own individual beauty.

[mzystr]

this is the type of song that makes you just tear up because of how beautiful it is

[forgettable]

You know a song is wonderful if it makes you dream. I felt like I was seeing Magnolia in a garden playing by herself while I was calmly admiring her next to Laufey. I love when a song is able to pull you into a world and I think this is Laufey’s secret talent. Its so lovely and admirable, this song is my musical Magnolia.

[vincentperom]

[thatonegir]

Keep in mind that you’re Magnolia to someone out there, and you can’t say “nOoOoOo i CaN’t Be i’M UgLy” yes you can, you don’t know that the world is turning just for you <3
