Lyrics
Beautiful World
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
looks like you're never coming home
looks like you'll make that road alone
caught in the headlights of a very mixed up world
where everything you fear
where your shadow blocks your light
oh, beautiful world, to me
doves cried when she tried to fly
when her wings spread she heard their song
flies to your flame
but so hard to see at night
alone in your dreams
beautiful world, it's a beautiful world, to me
it's a beautiful world, it's a beautiful world to you
don't let me go outside tonight
keep me safe within this room
afraid of what i feel
afraid of what i'll do
everything i feel is here
where your shadow blocks the light
one embrace, one embrace
my heart, sometimes
it's a beautiful world, it's a beautiful world, to you
