Lyrics:

There’s light across the kitchen floor
I’ve seen it there a thousand times
But somehow it looks softer now
With your jacket hanging by the door
You don’t ask me where I’ve been
Or take my time and stretch it thin
You just leave the window open
And let the morning do its thing

I used to brace for leaving
Even when the room was still
Now I catch myself believing
Maybe quiet can be real

Isn’t it beautiful anyway?
The way the blue comes after gray
The way your shoulder finds my shoulder
When there’s nothing left to say
I don’t need all the answers
I don’t need a contract bound
Just your breathing next to me
In the peaceful moment, the only sound
After all that went missing
After all the goodness gone
Something different emerges
And I keep holding on
Isn’t it beautiful?
Beautiful (anyway)

You laugh low in the hallway
Like a flame that doesn’t burn
And I feel the old fear loosen
Without asking it to relearn
There are things I may not tell you
There are doors I keep half-closed
But you never try to force them
You just sit there, warm and close

I used to think that safety
Had to come with locks and walls
Now it sounds like your footfalls
Coming softly down the hall

Isn’t it beautiful anyway?
The way the blue comes after gray
The way your shoulder finds my shoulder
When there’s nothing left to say
I don’t need all the answers
I don’t need a contract bound
Just your breathing next to me
In the peaceful moment, the only sound
After all that went missing
After all the goodness gone
Something different emerges
And I keep holding on
Isn’t it beautiful?
Beautiful (anyway)

No reveal
No perfect lines
No lightning splitting the sky
Just keys by the doorway
Your coat on the chair
Proof that someone
Enjoys being here
And if love comes softly
I won’t turn it away
I’ll let it sit beside me
Just let it learn my name

Isn’t it beautiful anyway?
The way the blue comes after grey
The way your hand is close to my hand
But doesn’t have to make me stay
I don’t need all the answers
I don’t need a contract bound
Just your breathing next to me
In the peaceful moment, the only sound
After all that went missing
After all the goodness gone
Love doesn’t have to shout
To prove that it belongs
Isn’t it beautiful?
Beautiful (anyway)

Beautiful (beautiful)
Anyway
Beautiful (beautiful)
Anyway
Beautiful (Anyway)
