Everything Beautiful

Oh, love, I've been crying out for you
Can you hear the whisper?
My heart can't keep standing up for you
I can smell the timber
There's tinsel on the kitten, Christmas on the floor
You're stoned on the sofa, my bags by the door
Leave everything beautiful behind a slamming door

Oh, mama, I know I am lost today
I can't find my way back home
'Cause this road always beckons me away
My wheels spin out in the snow
I think about Elvis and how lonely he had been
I think about Jesus and I think about the sins
I think everything beautiful comes from broken

I've been keeping all my new songs out of view
I've said a thousand times they are not about you
Just two blind people who will never see
We've traveled too far to give up gracefully
We took what was magical, made it unrecognizable
Polished and shined it to perfection

Filled the cracks, wanting love to shine on back
Now it only shows our own reflection

Pinching pain in a vain success
And truly finding loneliness
It'll mark your love with passion and devotion
Oh, baby, we are beautiful
My God, we are broken
I think everything beautiful comes from broken
