[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
