Songtext Plastic beach Future Islands

Plastic beach

Spent a lifetime in the mirror
Always afraid of what someone else would say
I wanted to be strong so I took some time to tell you
But you knew from the things I said
Why do you say that babe
You are beautiful
You're my heart
And you're beautiful just like this

And I took the time to tell you
You took the time to listen to me too
I see, I see tomorrow
I see, I see tomorrow

Spent a lifetime in the mirror
Picking apart what I couldn't shave
And I saw my mother, my father, my brother
In my face
In my face

Lots of times it was the only thing that kept me going
Other times it's the grip of shame
You came along and showed me who I am
Wanted me
To be loved
To be one
To be loved
To feel something
I see, I see tomorrow
I see, I see tomorrow
You're beautiful
And you're beautiful just like this

And I took the time to tell you
You took the time to listen to me too

I see, I see tomorrow
I see, I see tomorrow

Spent a lifetime in the mirror
Picking apart what I couldn't shave

I see, I see tomorrow
I see, I see tomorrow
I see, I see tomorrow
I see, I see tomorrow
I see, I see tomorrow

What you saw today
