Benson Boone - Beautiful Things lyrics
About this lyric:
Benson Boone’s single “Beautiful Things” has been making waves since its release. The song hit No. 8 on Billboard’s Hot 100 and has been praised for its tender guitar and lyrics that encourage listeners to sing along1. Boone’s voice is described as having a unique quality that some may mistake for a foreign accent, and the track features drums that come in at just the right time, fueling a sense of young adult angst.
The song’s positive content reflects Boone’s personal struggles and his journey to finding peace and contentment. He shares his closeness with his family, his enjoyment of life, and his love for a girl his parents adore. However, he also expresses a fear that God could take away all the beautiful things in his life.
“Beautiful Things” is part of Boone’s debut album ‘Fireworks and Rollerblades,’ which doubles down on the anthemic sound and cathartic narrative of this breakout hit. The album has topped charts in multiple countries and has amassed nearly half a billion streams on Spotify alone.
The song and the album showcase Boone’s talent for penning raw lyrics with memorable hooks and thrashing piano riffs, a style that has resonated with fans worldwide
For a while there it was rough But lately I’ve been doing better Than the last four cold Decembers I recall And I see my family every month I found a girl my parents love She’ll come and stay the night I think I might have it all And I thank god everyday For the girl he sent my way But I know the things he gives me He can take away And I hold you every night That’s a feeling I wanna get used to But there’s no man as terrified As the man who stands to lose you Oh I hope I don’t lose you Mmm Please Stay I want you I need you oh God Don’t Take These beautiful things that I’ve got Please stay I want you I need you oh God Don’t take These beautiful things that I’ve got Please don’t take, I found my mind I’m feeling sane It’s been a while but I’m finding my faith If everything’s good and it’s great why do I sit and wait till it’s gone Oh I’ll tell ya I know I’ve got enough I got peace, And I got love, But I’m up at night thinking I just might lose it all Please stay I want you I need you oh God Don’t take These beautiful things that I’ve got Please stay I want you I need you oh god I need These beautiful things that I’ve got
