Lyrics for Beautiful as interpreted by Ice

Beautiful Lyrics
beautiful, you're beautiful
as beautiful as the sun
wonderful, you're wonderful
as wonderful as they come
and i can't help but feel attached
to the feelings i can't even match
with my face pressed up against the glass, wanting you

beautiful, you're beautiful
as beautiful as the sky
wonderful, it's wonderful
to know that you're just like I
and i'm sure you know me well, as i'm sure you don't
but you just can't tell who'll you love and who you won't

and i love you, as you love me

so let the clouds roll by your face
we'll let the world spin on to another place
we'll climb the tallest tree above it all
to look down on you and me and them
and i'm sure you know me well, as i'm sure you don't
but you just can't tell who you'll love and who you won't

don't let your life wrap up around you
don't forget to call, whenever
i'll be here just waiting for you
i'll be under your stars forever
neither here nor there, just right beside you
i'll be under the stairs forever
neither here nor there, just right beside you

such a great song about loving someone that you just can't be with. i think people see different meanings to this song, but i always imagined some sort of beautifully impossible relationship in which he's waiting hopelessly to have again.. *sigh* its really a great song

FAVORITE PART: "i'll be here just waiting for you; i'll be under your stars forever, neither here nor there just right beside you. i'll be under the stairs forever, neither here nor there just right beside you"

The title says it all...I love this song. I sing it to my boyfriend and I'm always signing my name with the lyrics when I write him letters. If only I knew who Billy wrote this about...or if it was even written about anyone specific.

so do you think he's saying he wants to wait for this person?

definitely. i think he misses this person more than anything in the world, and he wishes they could be together. if you listen, he says "don't let your life wrap up around you. don't forget to call, whenever. i'll be here just waiting for you, i'll be under your stars forever.." and i think he's trying to tell her that he doesn't want life to bring her down, so to 'call' because he'll always be there for her.

this song took a while to grow on me, but now i think it's one of the prettiest tracks on mellon collie. it's just so blatant, not trying to hide behind cleverness or wit, it just says what it says. and simplicity is usually beautiful. yeah, i love this song. anyways, that's what i think...

This is one great song out of 28 great songs on MCIS. The range of melodies just clicked with me.

I think this song is about a newborn child, "With my face pressed up to the glass wanting you," and the father and mother thinks she's beautiful. Then the child grows up and moves out and they want her to keep in touch and visit,"Don't forget to call, whenever."

ladylovecat you are exactly right. i always thought this song was about a man and his love, but couldn't figure out the "with my face pressed up to the glass..." part. definitely about a father and his newborn child. "its wonderful, to know that you're just like I".

yet another amazing song by mr. corgan himself. i think it's pretty self explanatory as to what it's about-about one showing/admitting his/her affections for another. however, i also think that there's an element of mystery to the tone of the song as well ("but you just can't tell who you love and who you won't") possibly implying that the particular person doesn't feel the same way about them. overall, very nice song. great melody.

I think the smashing pumpkins were so versitile with making all there songs sound different, vocally, and of course musically. Even with Billy Corgans range, they never sounded repeated.

This is the kind of song that gets on a double album and its just great. Another song I can really relate to on the level of "not being able to be with someone" but i thought the song does flow quite nicely with the baby-vibe..so thats cool

I agree with Sarlightfading about it being about a relationship he can't have, but I believe it's one he hasn't had... One he's just wishing he had a chance for.
"don't let your life wrap up around you
don't forget to call, whenever
i'll be here just waiting for you
i'll be under your stars forever
neither here nor there just right beside you
i'll be under the stairs forever
neither here nor there just right beside you"
When I hear this part I think perhaps he even told her he loves her, but something keeps them apart. It's like he's telling her he'll always love her. "Don't let your life wrap up around you/ Don't forget to call whenever" to me signifies that perhaps they were friends he wanted to take to the next level... this song is pretty straightforward. I think pretty much the only symbolic line in the song is "with my face pressed up to the glass wanting you" which to me is just a symbol for the obstacle that keeps her from him.
