  • I've lost count of the times I've given up on you
    But you make such a beautiful wreck, you do
    There's a tavern on the corner called the 'Milky Way'
    And you look so at home there it makes me afraid

    [Chorus]
    And at the dark end of this bar
    What a beautiful wreck you are
    When you've gone too far, beautiful wreck you are

    Well all the plans that you have from 7 years ago
    Like all the promises you've made I've watched 'em come and go
    You put your keys in the car, but it wouldn't drive
    With your hands on the wheel, lookin' barely alive
    Well I'm still sitting here waiting on the passenger side
    For you to make up your mind, for you to make up your mind

    [Chorus]

    What a beautiful, such a beautiful, beautiful wreck you are
    What a beautiful, such a beautiful, beautiful wreck

    I've lost count of the times I've given up on you
    But you make such a beautiful wreck, you do
    Yeah, you make such a beautiful wreck, you do
    You make such a beautiful wreck, you do

    [Chorus ]

    What a beautiful, such a beautiful, beautiful wreck you are
    What a beautiful, such a beautiful, beautiful wreck you are Writer/s: GLEN PHILLIPS, MARSHALL N ALTMAN, PETE DROGE, SHAWN MULLINS
