It Doesn't Always Have to Be Beautiful Lyrics
She said the sleepers on tracks have woken up
It's the end of the line I guess our luck is up
It was fun while it lasted cause nothing ever does
Love has lost its meaning and it was wasted on us
In the electrical storm you were running wild
You had a death wish you were a child
I came to bearing a lightning bolt
If you came back as the deep sea, I would come back as the salt
It's like your head is stuck in a tightening vise
Your ears are deaf to your friends’ advice
Because you know that your heart will never be full
It doesn't always have to be beautiful
Unless its beautiful
Okay leave now leave now if you just can't stay
Because there’s nothing worse than somebody pretending away
The years of their youth they will never get back
So I'll go home and practice the traits you said I lacked
Like listening to the thunder of your heart
And how with every other beat we grew further apart
Love is always going to be hard to you both
Never thinking that you'll ever love anyone else as much
But it’s ugly, it’s ugly now yeah I know
But you never give things enough time to grow
It's like driving through a carnival
It doesn't always have to be beautiful
Unless its beautiful
Baby I know it's over
Tell me (please) wait ‘til you're sober
Now we know it’s true
The waiting never quite felt like waiting
When the waiting was with you
Baby I know it's over
Tell me (please) wait ‘til you're sober
Now we know it’s true
The waiting never quite felt like waiting
When the waiting was with you
So let me tell you tell you a thing or two
About how to survive when there is a me and a you
It's awful, it's gruesome, it's something, it's cruel
Forever you will ask God if this happened to you
‘Cause I'm always thinking, thinking about where you are
Who you're with and if your mind is far
From what we do when we're alone
Love is to much for me and now the wall needs to grow
So when your head stuck in a tightening vise
Your ears are deaf to your friends’ advice
Because you know that your heart will never be full
It doesn't always have to be beautiful
Unless its beautiful
Baby I know it's over
Tell me (please) wait ‘til you're sober
Now we know it’s true
The waiting never quite felt like waiting
When the waiting was with you
Baby I know it's over
Tell me (please) wait ‘til you're sober
Now we know it’s true
The waiting never quite felt like waiting
When the waiting was with you
It's the end of the line I guess our luck is up
It was fun while it lasted cause nothing ever does
Love has lost its meaning and it was wasted on us
You had a death wish you were a child
I came to bearing a lightning bolt
If you came back as the deep sea, I would come back as the salt
Your ears are deaf to your friends’ advice
Because you know that your heart will never be full
It doesn't always have to be beautiful
Unless its beautiful
Because there’s nothing worse than somebody pretending away
The years of their youth they will never get back
So I'll go home and practice the traits you said I lacked
And how with every other beat we grew further apart
Love is always going to be hard to you both
Never thinking that you'll ever love anyone else as much
But you never give things enough time to grow
It's like driving through a carnival
It doesn't always have to be beautiful
Unless its beautiful
Tell me (please) wait ‘til you're sober
Now we know it’s true
The waiting never quite felt like waiting
When the waiting was with you
Baby I know it's over
Tell me (please) wait ‘til you're sober
Now we know it’s true
The waiting never quite felt like waiting
When the waiting was with you
About how to survive when there is a me and a you
It's awful, it's gruesome, it's something, it's cruel
Forever you will ask God if this happened to you
Who you're with and if your mind is far
From what we do when we're alone
Love is to much for me and now the wall needs to grow
Your ears are deaf to your friends’ advice
Because you know that your heart will never be full
It doesn't always have to be beautiful
Unless its beautiful
Tell me (please) wait ‘til you're sober
Now we know it’s true
The waiting never quite felt like waiting
When the waiting was with you
Baby I know it's over
Tell me (please) wait ‘til you're sober
Now we know it’s true
The waiting never quite felt like waiting
When the waiting was with you

I forgot to mention that this song is simply amazing.

Gosh I love this song! :D although it's about breaking up and all, it makes me so happy! Slow Club is a great band!
i adore this song, its so sweet.
Im guessing its a song about a failing relationship, but they do love eachother.. maybe one more than the other. "In the electrical storm you were running wild, you had a death wish you were a child" someone was too immature for the relationship? "I came to bearing a lightning bolt, if you came back as the deep sea, I would come back as the salt" saying if they had another chance in another lifetime maybe they would? something like that.
"But it’s ugly, it’s ugly now yeah I know, but you never give things enough time to grow It's like driving through a carnival, it doesn't always have to be beautiful.. Unless its beautiful" its hard but worth it if its something beautiful?
"Love is to much for me and now the wall needs to grow" too painful? someone cheating when theyre drunk, saying break up when youre sober?
"when your head stuck in a tightening vise, your ears are deaf to your friends’ advice" when you are infatuated or in love, you ignore or cant/dont want to listen to friends advice, even if you know theyre right. i love that line.
i dont know if any of this makes sense to anyone else. ahaha. i tired.
They are amazing. Every song by them is just beautiful and their lyrics are always so meaningful. I can't chose between this song and "because we're dead" by them.
i think it's "forever you will ask, how did this happen to you"
this song's just soo perfect from the first note till the end!
