I wish my brain would operate instead of standing still, it's all so complicated. 
The thread of my own thoughts is disappearing to what seems to be a logical conclusion, 
I guess I've run out of ideas. 
I've heard a million songs about this and that and it gave me satisfaction. 
But I see, it's a beautiful life 
Now comes the second verse and 
I have to at least keep the measure straight 
It's been a long time and 
I'm really insecure about it all, 
I guess I didn't like seeing the things 
I saw. Who needs it? 
It's been a little painful, and 
I hope I don't like pain, 'cause 
I'd hate to think of myself like that. '
Cause I see, it's a beautiful life 
How did I ever let some of those ideas out of the box? 
It was just a feeling 
I had, and 
I liked the verses, they were so nice and even. 
My eye will never be that good again. 
I lost a certain sense of rhythm, but 
I gained a certain sense of time. '
Cause I see, it's a beautiful life 
I like the old things, but 
I can't give up the idea of trying something just a little bit different, even if it's stupid. '
Cause I see, it's a beautiful life 
Yes I see, it's a beautiful life 
And I see, it's a beautiful life
