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
