🦋 Different Kind of Beautiful 🦋
(Verse 1)
I was looking for the Hollywood sign, the kind of glow you see on screen
The perfect curve, the dazzling line, a manufactured, flawless sheen
You weren't the neon, weren't the gold, no blockbuster soundtrack swelling
Just a quiet story to be told, in a tiny book I wasn't shelving
(Chorus)
But when you laugh, the light bends slow, and hits the dust motes in the air
It's a different kind of beautiful, a beauty I didn't know was there
And suddenly the ground is gone, the world dissolves to blues and whites
I’m falling head over heels 'til dawn, and floating on a million butterflies tonight
(Verse 2)
Your masterpiece is not a face that launched a thousand ships at sea
It’s the way you pause and find your place, while stirring up a cup of tea
It's the freckle map across your nose, the sweater sleeve you always chew
The way you know exactly how the quietest flower grows, and how to make the sky feel new
(Chorus)
'Cause when you laugh, the light bends slow, and hits the dust motes in the air
It's a different kind of beautiful, a beauty I didn't know was there
And suddenly the ground is gone, the world dissolves to blues and whites
I’m falling head over heels 'til dawn, and floating on a million butterflies tonight
(Bridge)
They say love is fire, fierce and wild, a consuming, blinding heat
But this feels like standing on an unspoiled island, a gentle, sheltered, safe retreat
I don't need the thunder and the rain, just this soft shimmer that you bring
It’s not perfect, but it’s real again, and it makes my lonely heart want to sing
(Instrumental Break)
(Chorus)
And when you laugh, the light bends slow, and hits the dust motes in the air
It's a different kind of beautiful, a beauty I didn't know was there
And suddenly the ground is gone, the world dissolves to blues and whites
I’m falling head over heels 'til dawn, and floating on a million butterflies tonight
(Outro)
Yeah, I’m floating, I'm floating, I'm floating...
Head over heels, no turning back
This different kind of beautiful...
Is the only kind of love I lack.
