Cover art for Beautiful Children lyrics by Jeremy Messersmith

This song has such beauty crafted into it. Jeremy shows us into the most integral moment where his relationship with someone he cares for deeply was at a crossroad. His selfishness ("Another Heartsick lullaby but I can't seem to make you cry") and lack of confidence ("But I'm afraid that you'll never love me") are in an internal struggle. He has a seemingly strong dislike for the object of the womens desire, but he can't tell her, so he'll support her. Love.
