something beautiful

a midnight swim

a crawl to cross the distance

a pen to bare persistent

perfect synthesis

i'm longing for

lashing out for sweetness

raging doubt bereavement

for every song i've ever killed

and i don't wanna be that way

i just wanna make you something beautiful

yeah

i don't wanna be that way

i just wanna make you something beautiful

no testament

no magic combination

no holy hymn notation could articulate

the size of this

a head between my ears

i'm no sagittarius

i've never been so self involved

and i don't wanna live that way

i just wanna make you something beautiful

yeah

i don't wanna be that way

i just wanna make you something beautiful

ooh
