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
