Song I Wish That I Was Beautiful For You
Artist Darren Hanlon
Album Little Chills

Lyrics

作曲 : Hanlon
I wish that
I was beautiful for you
I wish that
I inspired tiny fireworks inside the way you do
So delicately made
A prayer left unprayed
Before the morning sky fades
Up to blue
And I wish that
I was beautiful for you
I wish that somehow
I could find a pill
For a quick fix modern tonic that would change me with one swallow
I would kill
Watch folks line up to pay
Stare at me all day
But I'd turn them all away
If that be thy will
One tiny little innocuous pill
But a wish is just a pin
In a swimming pool of needles
If for one night you need the room
I wish to be your tomb
You can lie in me
Is it possible
I've other things you need
But to be worthy of a single page out of one of those magazines you read
As glossy as a mirror
But mirrors never lie
They're difficult on the eye
It's true
And I wish that
I was beautiful for you
I dreamed that we were travelling on a bus
Speeding along an unnamed plain towards somewhere and nowhere there was us
Our hands lay useless in our laps
Like beetles on their backs
We came to a stretch of road where a fire
Had burned the edges all along it looked as though the highway wore eyeliner
You kissed me by surprise
When I opened my eyes
You'd turned into some old guy
I screamed
But don't forget of all these things
I've only dreamed
If for one night you need the room
I will be your tomb
You can lie in me
