Beautiful Boy by Blake Rouse Lyrics
[Verse 1, Blake Rouse]
Beautiful boy, won’t you stay
You have no use for me but I like your presence anyway
Beautiful boy, won’t you please
It’s all your choice but I need someone here to breathe
I’ve been all asleep too long
Rest assured, I’m going back where I went wrong
But now I’m wrapped up in your space
That’s alright because I like the thought of running places
[Chorus]
My sheets are covered well in light
Lose every sense of time
Laying backwards in my bed
Whinе gentle like a cannon’s wirе
Looms upon a lake on fire
All too much for me to dread even though I’m gentle
Everything feels all complemental
Such a thing when we lie
The unpolished glass, though cracked, still gleams
Even when I kick and scream I’m gentle
Count all the ships at sea
[Verse 2, Croix Du Nord]
I’ve been calling up my tear
I ask the lakes to draw you back, to draw you near
And faith is a funny thing, I know
When I’m searching for your footprints in the snow
Falling back into my bed
Pull the covers over me to pretend I was dead
Absence is never in your heart
But I’ll tell you my words, and don’t know where to start
[Chorus, Croix du Nord & Blake Rouse]
My sheets are covered well in light
Lose every sense of time
Laying backwards in my bed
Whine gentle like a cannon’s wire
Looms upon a lake on fire
All too much for me to dread even though I’m gentle
Everything feels all complemental
Such a thing when we lie
The unpolished glass, though cracked, still gleams
Even when I kick and scream I’m gentle
Beautiful boy, won’t you stay
You have no use for me but I like your presence anyway
Beautiful boy, won’t you please
It’s all your choice but I need someone here to breathe
I’ve been all asleep too long
Rest assured, I’m going back where I went wrong
But now I’m wrapped up in your space
That’s alright because I like the thought of running places
[Chorus]
My sheets are covered well in light
Lose every sense of time
Laying backwards in my bed
Whinе gentle like a cannon’s wirе
Looms upon a lake on fire
All too much for me to dread even though I’m gentle
Everything feels all complemental
Such a thing when we lie
The unpolished glass, though cracked, still gleams
Even when I kick and scream I’m gentle
Count all the ships at sea
[Verse 2, Croix Du Nord]
I’ve been calling up my tear
I ask the lakes to draw you back, to draw you near
And faith is a funny thing, I know
When I’m searching for your footprints in the snow
Falling back into my bed
Pull the covers over me to pretend I was dead
Absence is never in your heart
But I’ll tell you my words, and don’t know where to start
[Chorus, Croix du Nord & Blake Rouse]
My sheets are covered well in light
Lose every sense of time
Laying backwards in my bed
Whine gentle like a cannon’s wire
Looms upon a lake on fire
All too much for me to dread even though I’m gentle
Everything feels all complemental
Such a thing when we lie
The unpolished glass, though cracked, still gleams
Even when I kick and scream I’m gentle
