lyrics

we’re passing by beautiful things
we’re all passing by beautiful things
saying beauty’s not enough for me right now, I’m passing
yeah beauty’s not enough for me now, I’m just passing
no nothing is enough for us now so we’re passing
beautiful things

well the world passes by like a fly
hold it tight but don’t let it die
just put your hands to your eyes 
and block out all the disasters
brace up and be brave cause life’ll keep going faster and faster

if you could just see your sweet little face
the butterflies would all float away
and you could spend every day
helping others be happy
clapping your hands while your friends finish their track meet
look me in the eyes and tell me hey wouldn’t that be 
a beautiful thing

they say make new friends and keep the old
and that one is silver and the other gold
well I’m making ends meat in the cold
but I still force myself to stop and think
about the beautiful things

growing up isn’t always great
you end up with a lot on your plate
and you give up time everyday 
helping others make money
i know that to you this all must sound very funny


but you’ll forget sometimes to give your love
to ride your bike and be gentle with bugs
and you’ll thank the great god above
if you’re hit with a feeling
cause not every kiss is gonna send you reeling
there is a glass ceiling, it’s not that appealing

they say to begin, you first must start
we say write your name down in the dark
and don’t ever silence your spark
and whatever your heart tells you, well it’s right

and don’t you be like those people who go
their whole lives without giving love
try to be one of the none of the above
to see yourself through a prism of delight

so please keep that light in your hair
and keep breathing on that rarified air
cause you’re you and that’s rare
and at the heart of the picture
your essence is needed to perfect the mixture

but they’re’ll always be some things you don’t understand
and you’ve got this feeling like your inside a man
thinking “am I this man, this real-life maneuverer?”
caught in glance you’re just who you knew you were
i’m telling you babe there’s nothing truer-er
from the left to the ride side of the universe

and everyone who’s ever had a perfect heart
writes their names down in the dark
and has eschewed bite and it’s bark
in their lives

yeah everyone who’s ever had a perfect heart
writes their name down in the dark
yeah writes their name down in the park
and writes their name down in their heart
and writes their pain down in their art
and writes their name tag and does their part
