Beautiful Things Lyrics by Elyse Shackleton

21 Days

2020

[Chorus]
When I hear beautiful things
I feel restless and unkempt
Maybe I'm jealous
For something I once had
My life was like that, once
Narrative running like water through dust
So sorry if I seem
Sad when I see beautiful things

[Verse 1]
I hide my words underneath
These deceptively happy tunes
Because it's hard to accept my feelings
Let alone be telling you

I hide my words underneath
These deceptively happy tunes
Because it's hard to accept my feelings
Let alone be telling you

[Interlude]
Beautiful things
Beautiful things
Beautiful things
Beautiful things

[Verse 2]
Restless running like rain to the sea
I might not make it home in one piece
Looking for signs of changing times
Scanning for evidence that I'm still me

People-watching like I'll find old friends
Like I haven't processed the fact that I left
Glimpses of movement glint off the glass
I turn and I look but the moment has passed

I pace down the street like I could decide
That distance be damned, I could walk back time
I have intent for the future I see
But I can't stand these beautiful things

[Interlude]
Beautiful things
Beautiful things
Beautiful things
Beautiful things

[Chorus]
When I hear beautiful things
I feel restless and unkempt
Maybe I'm jealous
For something I once had
My life was like that, once
Narrative running like water through dust
So sorry if I seem
Sad when I see beautiful things
