Slow Club - It Doesn't Have To Be Beautiful

She said the sleepers on the 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 it's 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 a salt

It's like your head is stuck
in a tightening vice
Your ears are deaf
to your friends' advice
Beacause you know
that your heart will never be full
It doesn't always have to be beautiful
Unless it's beautiful

Okey, 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 grow further apart
Love is always gonna be
hard to give up
Never thinking that you'll ever love
anybody 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 it's beautiful

Baby, I know it's over
Tell me, wait 'till 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, wait 'till 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's 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 alway thinking, thinking
about where you are
Who are you with
and if you're mind is far
From what we do
when we're alone
Love is too much for me
and now the wall needs to grow

It's like your head is stuck
in a tightening vice
Your ears are deaf
to your friends' advice
Beacause you know
that your heart will never be full
It doesn't always have to be beautiful
Unless it's beautiful

Baby, I know it's over
Tell me, wait 'till 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, wait 'till you're sober
Now we know it's true
The waiting never quite felt like waiting
when the waiting was with you
