Lyrics

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
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
Beautiful things
Beautiful things
Beautiful things
Beautiful things
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
Beautiful things
Beautiful things
Beautiful things
Beautiful things
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
