All the Beautiful Things Lyrics

Everyday I wake up
And wonder why
I'm alone when I know,
I am a lovely guy
Birds come down from the sky so blue
See all the beautiful things you do
Why can't I just get with ...
You


Every night I
Carry out my plan
Pray to god that one day I can be your man
Birds come down from the sky so blue
See all the beautiful things you do
Why can't I just get with..
You would be my only friend in the world
Or you could just be my girl

And if I do run away from this life
It won't be much for me
In the afterlife
although I know that you
Don't even care
I would rather stay in a
World where
Birds come down from the sky so blue
See all the beautiful things you do
Why can't I just get with...
You

Cover art for All the Beautiful Things lyrics by Eels

This one makes my teeth ache, it's so pretty and sugar-coated; although I have to admit to wondering if it's maybe a little tongue-in-cheek. Maybe just a little.

A different facet here than the album's earlier song, "The Longing" - with the "I'd die for you" line, this one makes the confession that the singer would rather not have to. Although the subject of the song is apparently oblivious anyway.
