Beautiful - Ben Rector

There are days when I wake up

That I don’t know what I’m doing here

I barely recognize the pair of eyes staring back at me in the mirror

There was a day when I was free

Not a care that I could see

So good I barely could believe that it was happening

Oh take me back again

When I was sixteen with an open heart

Windows down in a beat up car

When I was dumb and the world was young and she was beautiful

She was beautiful

She was beautiful

How do we end up like this?

Living lives that we don’t care about?

Too busy fixing things on computer screens

While the grass grows green

Me, I’m screaming out

There was a day when I was free

Not a care that I could see

So good I barely could believe that it was happening

Oh take me back again
