We were driving through a Texas stretch
It wasn't much and the flowers were dead
You started laughing through your crooked teeth
All of a sudden, it was quite the scene

So crazy, all this time
I've been bored on these American drives
I'm watching cactuses pass me by
Did it look like this my whole damn life?

Crying over beauty, that's what you do to me
Crying over beauty, whole world looking new to me
Crying over beauty

I was lying on the plastic grass
You came beside me and you held my hand
We were looking up at the telephone wires
But I know Van Gogh would be inspired

So crazy, all this time
It was sitting right in front of my eyes
I've been living under the same sky
Did it look like this my whole damn life?

Crying over beauty, that's what you do to me
Crying over beauty, whole world looking new to me
Crying over beauty

Saw the cherry trees in Tokyo
They were falling like winter snow
I was sick as fuck, that didn't matter much
I felt euphoria
Crying over beauty, oh
Crying over beauty
Crying over beauty
Crying over beauty
