Beautiful Lyrics

If I could just leave my body for the night Then we could be dancing No more missing you while I'm gone There we could be dancing And you'd smile and say, "I like this song" And when our eyes will meet there We will recognize nothing's wrong And I wouldn't feel so selfish I won't be this way very long

We had a great day Even though we forgot to eat And you had a bad dream Then we got no sleep 'Cause we were kissing

I don't know quite who I am, oh but man I am trying I make mistakes until I get it right An eye for an eye for an eye for an eye for an eye I used to hate myself but now I think I'm alright

First time, you let me stay the night despite your own rules You took off early to go cheat your way through film school You left a note in your perfect script: 'Stay as long as you want' I haven’t left your bed since.

Oh, and love is just an institution based on human frailty What's your paradise gotta do with Adam and Eve? Maybe love is just an economy based on resource scarcity But what I fail to see is what that's gotta do with you and me

Oh, and honey, I'm worried 'bout you You're too much to lose You're all that I have And honey, I'm worried 'bout you Put yourself in my shoes You're all that I have so please don't die Wherever you are tonight

She says, like literally, music is the air she breathes And the malaprops make me want to fucking scream I wonder if she even knows what that word means Well, it's literally not that

When you're smiling and astride me I can hardly believe I've found you and I'm terrified by that

This year I've started wearing safety belts When I'm driving Because when I'm with you I don't have to think about myself And it hurts less

On the sheet, I see your horizon All of me pressed onto you But in this light, you look like Poseidon I'm just a ghost you walk right through

"Did you get enough love, my little dove? Why do you cry? And I’m sorry I left, but it was for the best Though it never felt right / My little Versailles."

If I ventured in the slipstream Between the viaducts of your dream Where immobile steel rims crack And the ditch in the back roads stop

I just laid down and cried The waters don't really go by me Give me something I can see Something bigger and louder than the voices in me Something to believe
