Beautiful People
Jason Upton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Turn down the voices, hurting my ear.
There's a moment, getting away...
And there's something, I wanna say.
Roll down the windows, and this is what you'll hear:
The sound of a stranger's voice in your ear...
Is it fear that, has kept you away?
Saying: we can be friends, if you want to...
There's a friendship waiting... to be.
We can be friends, if you want to...
Take my hand, be friends with me.
Beautiful music, memories and years...
Of beautiful laughter and beautiful tears.
I's a beautiful morning today...
With the wind blowing... every which way.
Beautiful people... forgive and forget.
And eyes look like children, who haven't lost yet
Entrust us the strength of their love
Disarms all the powers... that separate us.
Because: we can be friends, if you want to...
There's a friendship waiting to be.
We can be friends, if you want to...
Take my hand, be friends with me.
