lyrics

Verse 1
I'm up at 6 in the mornin'
Running underneath the moonlight
Then I go off to work all day
Come home and write songs all night

And people ask me like
"why you work so hard?
"Ain't you done enough?
Ain't it time to let down your guard?"

I wish they would understand
I'm trying to fill in the shell of a man
But what I wouldn't give away
Just to feel content on the day to day

Chorus:
So from here on out
Only ever wanna make
Beautiful things
'Til the hurt is gone
From here on out
Only ever wanna make
Beautiful things
From now on

Verse 2:
Sure as the sun is shining
Sure as the rain does fall
And believe where I come from baby
The rain sure does fall

Just as sure people talkin' like
"It's a tough old world
"ain't the kinda place I'd wanna raise
a little boy or girl"

But when the rain come
LIke I said
We'll put a roof up overhead

Cause ain't no storm that we can't weather
Makin' beautiful things together

Chorus

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful things...

Chorus
