A midnight swim
A crawl to cross the distance
A pen to bare persistent, perfect synthesis

I'm longing for, lashing out for sweetness
Raging doubt bereavement
For every song I've ever killed

And I don't wanna be that way
I just wanna make you something beautiful
Yeah, I don't wanna be that way
I just wanna make you something beautiful

No testament
No magic combination
No holy hymn notation could articulate

The size of this
A head between my ears
I'm no Sagittarius, I've never been so self involved

And I don't wanna live that way
I just wanna make you something beautiful
Yeah, I don't wanna be that way
I just wanna make you something beautiful, ooh
