'Beautiful Things' is the 2nd of 3 singles that were released in 2021. The tracks were written just before the pandemic began and recorded remotely last spring. They deal with some of the ways that we assign value to our lives.

lyrics

I want to buy you things to show you that I care
I really really care so much
I want you to love the things
That I love and
Tell me that you love me too
But you've got other things to do

I want to find you something shiny and bright
With colors to match your eyes
I want to tell you I am here forever
I'm not going anywhere anytime soon
But you've got other things to do

I'll go into debt for you
I'll pay it back, I will
I'll find a job after all this shit is through

I don't want anything
Money can buy
I guess I just want to feel useful

I've been hoarding
Beautiful things
Trying to lessen the blow
Please don't ask me
What I'm planning
Cause I don't know
Where I'm going
I don't know
Where I'm going
