Beautiful People (Stay High) Lyrics

[Chorus]
All of those beautiful people (Say "hey")
All of those beautiful people (Stay high)
All of those beautiful people (Say "yeah")
I'm tellin' you why

[Verse 1]
Time I've been gone
I've been strugglin' alone
Keepin' all of my demons to myself
I'm saving my grace for that heavenly place
To the sun, I will sing you my song

[Pre-Chorus]
(Nah, nah-nah-nah-nah)
(Nah, nah-nah-nah-nah)
(Never coming back down)
(Nah, nah-nah-nah-nah)
(Nah, nah-nah-nah-nah)
(Never coming back down)

[Chorus]
All of those beautiful people (Say "hey")
All of those beautiful people (Stay high)
All of those beautiful people (Say "yeah")
I'm tellin' you why

[Verse 2]
Hard as it's been, to begin once again
Just a friend on the wind seekin' shelter
There's a crack in the sky, and a light from on high
I get higher and higher when I'm with her

[Pre-Chorus]
(Nah, nah-nah-nah-nah)
(Nah, nah-nah-nah-nah)
(Never coming back down)

[Chorus]
All of those beautiful people (Say "hey")
All of those beautiful people (Stay high)
All of those beautiful people (Say "yeah")
I'm tellin' you why
All of those beautiful people (Say "hey")
All of those beautiful people (Stay high)
All of those beautiful people (Say "yeah")
I'm tellin' you why
(Never coming back down)

[Interlude]
(Nah, nah-nah-nah-nah)
(Never coming back down)

[Chorus]
All of those beautiful people (Say "hey")
All of those beautiful people (Stay high)
All of those beautiful people (Say "yeah")
I'm tellin' you why
(Never coming back down)
All of those beautiful people (Say "hey")
All of those beautiful people (Stay high)
All of those beautiful people (Say "yeah")
I'm tellin' you why
(Never coming back down)
