lyrics

Maybe I knew
A long time ago
When you spoke, you weren’t lying
And maybe I knew
When you let me go
But can you blame me for trying?
And maybe I knew
It was all built up
By a head that likes daydreams
And maybe I knew
That my heart filled up
After checking on the seams

Imitate what we’re told
And state
That we’re old

You are
Beautiful
And I can’t
Tell you
All about it
You are
Beautiful
And I can’t
Tell you
All about it

Maybe I knew
It was pageantry
But I still wanna float
And maybe I knew
I couldn’t climb a tree
But I still put on my coat
And maybe I knew
Silence suggested
There was never magic dust
And maybe I knew
This reflected
Through the dirt and through the rust

Imitate what we’re told
And state
That we’re old

You are
Beautiful
And I can’t
Tell you
All about it
You are
Beautiful
And I can’t
Tell you
All about it

I’d
Do
Anything to fix this for you
I’d
Do
Anything to fix this for you

You are
Beautiful
And I can’t
Tell you
All about it
You are
Beautiful
And I can’t
Tell you
All about it
You are
Beautiful
And I can’t
Tell you
All about it
You are
Beautiful
And I can’t
Tell you
All about it
