He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
Cory's eyes are like a jungle
He smiles it's like the radio
He whispers songs into my window
In words that nobody knows
There's pretty girls on every corner
They watch him as he's walking home
Saying, does he know
Will you ever know?
You're beautiful
Every little piece, love don't you know?
You're really gonna be someone
Ask anyone
And when you find everything you've looked for
I hope your love leads you back to my door
Oh, but if it don't, stay beautiful
Cory finds another way to be
The highlight of my day
I'm taking pictures in my mind
So I can save them for a rainy day
It's hard to make a conversation
When he's taking my breath away
I should say "hey, by the way
You're beautiful
Every little piece, love don't you know?
You're really gonna be someone
Ask anyone
And when you find everything you've looked for
I hope your love leads you back to my door
Oh, but if it don't, stay beautiful
If you and I are a story
That never gets told
If what you are is a daydream
I'll never get to hold, at least you'll know
You're beautiful
Every little piece, love don't you know?
You're really gonna be someone
Ask anyone
And when you find everything you've looked for
I hope your love leads you back to my front door
Oh, but if it don't
Will you stay beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful?
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, but if it don't
Stay beautiful
Stay beautiful
Na, na, na, na, na
He smiles it's like the radio
He whispers songs into my window
In words that nobody knows
There's pretty girls on every corner
They watch him as he's walking home
Saying, does he know
Will you ever know?
You're beautiful
Every little piece, love don't you know?
You're really gonna be someone
Ask anyone
And when you find everything you've looked for
I hope your love leads you back to my door
Oh, but if it don't, stay beautiful
Cory finds another way to be
The highlight of my day
I'm taking pictures in my mind
So I can save them for a rainy day
It's hard to make a conversation
When he's taking my breath away
I should say "hey, by the way
You're beautiful
Every little piece, love don't you know?
You're really gonna be someone
Ask anyone
And when you find everything you've looked for
I hope your love leads you back to my door
Oh, but if it don't, stay beautiful
If you and I are a story
That never gets told
If what you are is a daydream
I'll never get to hold, at least you'll know
You're beautiful
Every little piece, love don't you know?
You're really gonna be someone
Ask anyone
And when you find everything you've looked for
I hope your love leads you back to my front door
Oh, but if it don't
Will you stay beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful?
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, but if it don't
Stay beautiful
Stay beautiful
Na, na, na, na, na

Techno Ted

Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

Taylor Swift on the background to this song: "After hearing my songs, a lot of people ask me, 'How many boyfriends have you HAD?' And I always tell them that more of my songs come from observation than actual experience. In other words, you don't have to date someone to write a song about them. This is a song I wrote about a guy I never dated! Wow, right? Haha. This song is about a guy I thought was cute, and never really talked to him much. But something about him inspired this song, just watching him."
this song to me is about a girl who is so in love with a guy she could or couldn't have. she knows all the little details about him. she thinks he's just beautiful in every single little tiny way. he's always the highlight of her day. and yes i can relate to this song a great deal. =]]]
I can totally relate to this song. I'm in LOVE with a boy named Jackson. He's beautiful. But he's 2 grades ahead of me and doesn't even know my name. His eyes are like 2 pools of melted chocolate. His smile makes my heart thud so loud sometimes I think he can hear it. My friends are fed up with my fantasy with Jackson. But I'll never give up.
I agree with lucci071. She knows he'll go on to do amazing things in his life, but somehow wishes that he'll end up back in her life, and if not she hopes he'll stay the great person that he is. I feel the exact way about my ex. =)
ok, so Honestly didnt care enough to looke through everyones comments, but my interpretation is because of a recent situation, where the girl really loves or likes the guy, everytime he is anywhere near her, he pretty much makes her day. Even if he can't see it, she knows he's going to be great at whatever he does. As much as she wants to be with him, its more important that he knows he is a beautiful person and going to be great. and most importantly, even if she never sees him again, he needs to stay true to him self. Stay beautiful, don't ever change <3
I think this is a song about a guy that doesn't know that every girl dreams of being with that is just very sweet. A girl likes him, but for some reason they can never be together. So she lets him go, but hopes that after everything he wants to do is over he'll come back to her.
I don't think this song is really about someone leaving. It never really indicates that anyone is leaving- you can take it that way, if you want- but I always thought the song was more about just loving someone, but if you can't be with them one day, you just want them to stay beautiful. But pretty much the same thing, I guess. And in songs, you can take them how you want, anyways. :) Either way, great song.
I'm so sorry!!!! I'm not good with internet stuff (REALLY not good) and I was trying to say I liked this comment! I did NOT want to flag it!!! I'm soooooo sorry D: <br /> I wanted to say how much I agreed with your post.....so sorry :(
This is an amazingly beautiful song!!!
to me i think this song is just about a boy shes grown up with and learned to love as a friend and more, and hopes nothing but the best when he leaves the town, but i think deep inside she hopes that somehow he will walk back into her life.
instead of "I hope your love leads you back to my door, oh, but if you don't," its "i hope your LIFE leads you back to my front door but if IT don't" but yea i love this song
her inspiration for this song was actually just a random guy that she saw in school who she thought was really hot
