lyrics

I’ve never been too spry or agile
Nobody bothered to sing my name
It seemed so strained to take a leap
I’d rather catch up on my sleep

Oh, you’re beautiful to me
Oh, so beautiful

And then a flash of radiant wonder
My psyche driven to collapse on cue
The moment that our lips first met
A million rockets screaming “yes”

We try not to stare at the world out there
Let’s just waste the day, nothing gold can stay
Memories entwine as our hearts align
When you’re here with me
There’s nowhere else that I’d rather be

We walk along as each other’s sidekicks
Mutual heroes all the same
Beside the fire we’ve met our fate
The cold and hardened earth can wait

Oh, too beautiful
Oh, you’re so beautiful

I won’t live alone, day by day I’m shown
Heaven’s offered view was a glimpse of you
Maybe this is fraught, not what I was taught
But I never would question when the going is good
