Lyrics[]
[Intro]
[laughs]
Quietly
Alright, let's see
1, 2
[Verse]
When I left all my baggage
When I healed all the damage
I got pulled like a magnet to you
Feels like home, it's euphoric
Made it out of the forest
Realigned with your orbit, déjà vu
[Pre-chorus]
Crazy how we made in different places
But we end up so close
Call it intuition, some people listen some keep their eyes closed
Takes time, happy that I took mine
Followed all the right signs
The signs
[Chorus]
Magnets, coming back together, ooh-ooh
Got me feeling premonitions of us
Open arms like you know me
All our life, times I owe you
And our families are chosen
Magnets, mmm

When I left all my baggage
When I healed all the damage
I got pulled like a magnet to you
Feels like home, it's euphoric
Made it out of the forest
Realigned with your orbit, déjà vu
[Pre-chorus]
Crazy how we made in different places
But we end up so close
Call it intuition, some people listen some keep their eyes closed
Takes time, happy that I took mine
Followed all the right signs
The signs
[Chorus]
Magnets, coming back together, ooh-ooh
Got me feeling premonitions of us
Open arms like you know me
All our life, times I owe you
And our families are chosen
Magnets, mmm
