Beautiful Times Lyrics
[Verse 1: Adam Young]
A spark soaring down through the pouring rain
And restoring life to the lighthouse
A slow-motion wave on the ocean stirs
My emotion up like a rain cloud
[Pre-Chorus: Adam Young]
When did the sky turn black?
And when will the light come back?
[Verse 2: Adam Young]
A cab driver turned to skydiver then
To survivor, dying to break down
A blood brother, surrogate mother
Hugging each other, crying their eyes out
[Pre-Chorus: Adam Young]
When did the sky turn black?
And when will the light come back?
I'm ecstatic like a drug addict
Locked in the attic, strung out, and spellbound
[Chorus: Adam Young]
I fought all through the night
Oh-oh, but I made it alive
The sun starting to rise
Oh-oh, these are beautiful times
This fight of my life is so hard, so hard, so hard
But I'm gonna survive
Oh-oh, these are beautiful times!
A spark soaring down through the pouring rain
And restoring life to the lighthouse
A slow-motion wave on the ocean stirs
My emotion up like a rain cloud
[Pre-Chorus: Adam Young]
When did the sky turn black?
And when will the light come back?
[Verse 2: Adam Young]
A cab driver turned to skydiver then
To survivor, dying to break down
A blood brother, surrogate mother
Hugging each other, crying their eyes out
[Pre-Chorus: Adam Young]
When did the sky turn black?
And when will the light come back?
I'm ecstatic like a drug addict
Locked in the attic, strung out, and spellbound
[Chorus: Adam Young]
I fought all through the night
Oh-oh, but I made it alive
The sun starting to rise
Oh-oh, these are beautiful times
This fight of my life is so hard, so hard, so hard
But I'm gonna survive
Oh-oh, these are beautiful times!
[Violin Solo]
[Verse 3: Adam Young]
A bad feeling burned through the ceiling
Leaving my healing heart with a new scar
A dead fire rose, and rose higher like
A vampire up from the graveyard
[Pre-Chorus Adam Young]
When did the sky turn black?
And when will the light come back?
We all suffer but we recover just
To discover life where we all are
[Chorus: Adam Young]
I fought all through the night
Oh-oh, but I made it alive
The sun starting to rise
Oh-oh, these are beautiful times
This fight of my life is so hard, so hard, so hard
But I'm gonna survive
Oh-oh, these are beautiful times
This fight of my life is so hard, so hard, so hard
But I'm gonna survive
Oh-oh, these are beautiful times
[Verse 3: Adam Young]
A bad feeling burned through the ceiling
Leaving my healing heart with a new scar
A dead fire rose, and rose higher like
A vampire up from the graveyard
[Pre-Chorus Adam Young]
When did the sky turn black?
And when will the light come back?
We all suffer but we recover just
To discover life where we all are
[Chorus: Adam Young]
I fought all through the night
Oh-oh, but I made it alive
The sun starting to rise
Oh-oh, these are beautiful times
This fight of my life is so hard, so hard, so hard
But I'm gonna survive
Oh-oh, these are beautiful times
This fight of my life is so hard, so hard, so hard
But I'm gonna survive
Oh-oh, these are beautiful times
[Outro: Adam Young]
My heart's burning bad and it's turning black
But I'm learning how to be stronger
And sincerely, I love you dearly
Oh, but I'm clearly destined to wonder
My heart's burning bad and it's turning black
But I'm learning how to be stronger
And sincerely, I love you dearly
Oh, but I'm clearly destined to wonder
