about

It's in the title. Used to be two songs Beautiful LIfe and Shambles but they found each other and the way to step together.

lyrics

Let's make a beautiful life together.
One like steel when it needs to be strong.
Let's make a beautiful life together.
One that bends like bamboo in the wind when the night is long.
Let's make a beautiful life together.
One that can right itself, right itself when it goes wrong.
Let's make a beautiful life together.

I remember everything.
The way you stood in the doorway with the light behind you.
I remember everything.
The way the sirens in the night called for us to stay
Within their oily arms (repeat)
I remember everything.
The way I chased you in the rose garden in the rain
caught you then, kissed you, we were never the same.
I remember everything. (repeat)

Baby come on in, act like you're gonna stay for awhile.
Baby come on in, let's pretend we know what to say, for awhile.
Baby come on in, stars are gonna stay in the sky, for a little while.
Don't be afraid. It's just you and me together for awhile. (repeat)

Baby come on in, let's shake hands and stall for a little while.
Baby come on in, maybe I can sing some new songs for a little while.
Baby come on in, well let me watch lean against a wall for awhile.
Don't be afraid. It's just you and me, together for awhile. (repeat)

I'm in shambles. I'm in shambles. I'm in shambles, without you here.
(repeat)

Oh my lovely, how white your teeth, in the light of the new rising moon.
Oh my lovely, how pale your skin. Look at the shape we're in.
Oh my lovely. I'm not afraid.
It's just you and me together for awhile. (repeat)

I'm in shambles. I'm in shambles. I'm in shambles, without you here.
(repeat)
