The Most Beautiful Thing I've Seen In Forever

Half a dozen months

Half a dozen months I've spent waiting, ooh, ooh, on you

Forgot what time it was

Forgot what time I was supposed to do something

God damn my luck god damn these dreams of mine

Stupid ambitions, always on my mind

That never come out right

 

I'm sick of hearing about how happy you are when you're with someone else

I'm so sick and tired of people who say they can stand just being by themselves

I hate it when they say the trouble is my attitude

Well I'm just of waiting

I'm not that impatient, how about you?

I hate it when I hear about people who are happy alone

That is to say I'm only just alone

And though we seem so close

The distance is relative

 

I've been counting the days and the newfound ways and I can say I'm amazed

By how long you can stand me for

I've been counting the nights without sleep and the weeks I feel weak when I try to speak

But all I can do right now is stammer

 

How long until you learn I'm too shy and not worthwhile, I won't even try

I'm just nothing, whatever

Lost myself in lowered expectations blind explanations but no exaggerations

You're the most beautiful thing I've seen in forever

 

Ten days from now

Ten days from now I'll be so, so happy again

Forgetting you is a hard thing and I'm trying to

Why should I have to?

Every time I try to speak something serious seems I go delirious, lost in your new

Tambourine smile and diamond eye shadow that lets the light reflect off of you

I guess it's just every time I see my reflection in your sparkling hazel eyes

Something snaps in my mind and the tears begin to flow out of mine

And I could go on for hours just saying how much I love your hair

It flows like water through a firestorm and crystal clean as air

 

But you, you don't care about me 'cause my eyes are painted with lies

My skin is melting off and yours is softer than the dewdrop orange sunrise

And I could go on for hours just talking but the words are kept like my hands inside my gloves

I just want to take 'em out and cover my ears and my eyes, 'cause love

I measure pretty girls in the way they smile and laugh

When I say something stupid like that

 

How long until I learn I'm not your type, and all this love is a lie I won't even try

I'm just someone, whoever

Lost myself in the sea of mist blinded by the misfits and I think this is

You're the most beautiful thing I've seen in forever

And forever is a long time to be waiting, it's true

On someone who'll probably just end up hating you

 

God damn the blank page, I love an artist

And she fills every last one with her love for a guitarist

And why does it seem funny that this happened half a dozen times?

If it means seeing you with someone else I'd give up seeing you and go blind, I would

 

You're the most beautiful thing I've seen and if it means waiting forever

I could go the distance, it doesn't seem so long to wait if the ending would turn out just a little better
