Something Beautiful

Jars Of Clay · Furthermore: From the Studio/From the Stage [2003]

If you put your arms around me,

Could it change the way I feel?

I guess I let myself believe

That the outside might just bleed its way in

Maybe stir the sleeping past

Lying under glass

I'm waiting for the kiss

That breaks this awful spell

Pull me out

Of this lonely cell



Close my eyes and hold my heart

Cover me and make me something

Change this something normal

Into something beautiful



What I get from my reflection

Isn't what I thought I'd see

Give me reason to believe

You'd never keep me incomplete

You untie this loss of mine

That easily defines me

Do you see it on my face

That all I can think about is how long

I've been waiting to feel you move me



Close my eyes and hold my heart

Cover me and make me something

Change this something normal

Into something beautiful

Into something beautiful

Into something beautiful



And I'm still fighting for the word to break these chains

And I still pray when I look in your eyes

You'd stare right back down

Into something beautiful



So close my eyes and hold my heart

Cover me and make me something

Change this something normal

Into something beautiful

Into something beautiful

Into something beautiful

Into something beautiful
