Checkerboard floor, green back door
One bedroom above a boarded up store
Baby we're in this together
The faucet leaks the hardwoods creak
With a crumbling spirit it's hard to sleep
But if won't be like this forever
We could be the poster for life ain't fair
Yeah, we're an original matching pair
CHORUS
We're beautiful somewhere
Over the rainbow, under the stars
We just haven't been that far
But it;s out there, and I swear
We're beautiful somewhere
Like a school yard game, always the same
like a school yard game, always the same
Teams get picked but it’s never our names
Why does it take so long
We got front row seats to these bad luck streets
Where it gets so hard that the sidewalk weeps
This is not where we belong
We’ll keep our eyes on better skies
‘cause even when the mirror lies
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Hold onto me real close real tight
And we’ll make love through this cold dark night
CHORUS
