Lyrics Beautiful Thing, I Am Terrified - Hotel Mira

Beautiful Thing, I Am Terrified

I better safety pin my psyche
Before the padded walls close in
I watched a plane crash almost nightly
I shouldn’t have asked the earth to spin
I, I thought that love was a tight dress
And I gotta make sure that you’re horny
The thoughts between bemused and numb
Infatuation lasts 'til morning
And then my name falls off your tongue
And I, I thought that love was a tight dress
It never looked so good on me
I never came to my senses, no
I let my senses come to me
Oh beautiful thing
I’m begging you, please
The prime of your youth
Don’t waste it on me
A man of my age
Shouldn’t shake in his boots
A list of mistakes
Not one of them’s cute
And I
I thought that love was a tight dress
It never looked so good on me
I never came to my senses, no
I let my senses come to me
I never came to my senses, no no no
I let my senses come to me
I gotta make sure that you like me
The quotes and lies that flee my mouth
The infant hands that sewed my Nikes
And everything I’m leaving out
