From her first album, Taylor Swift.
Swift wrote this song about a boy that she liked but moved away so she would never get to tell him that she liked him, so she expressed it in a song at the school talent show. Similar to Teardrops On My Guitar in the fact that she mentions the boy's name, Cory, in the song. Many other music artists find Swift's courage to put a person's real name in a song is something that can be looked up to, and also makes the listener feel closer to her personal life.
Lyrics
- Cory's eyes are like a jungle
- He smiles, it's like the radio
- He whispers songs into my window
- In words nobody knows
- There's pretty girls on every corner
- That 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
- When you find everything you looked for
- I hope your life 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 conversation
- When he's taking my breath away
- I should say, hey by the way
- 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,
- and don't you know your really gonna be someone ask anyone.
- and when you find everything you looked for,
- I hope your life leads you back to my front door.
- oh but if it don't will you stay
- beautiful beautiful beautiful
- beautiful beautiful beautiful
- la la la
- Oh, oh oh oh,
- oh but if it don't,
- stay beautiful
- stay beautiful
- Na na na na na
