Taylor Swift: Stay Beautiful Meaning

Stay Beautiful 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

[Chorus:]
You're...

   It talks about a guy who maybe doesnt have any idea how wonderful he is. She secretly has a crush on him and wanted the guy to remember always how wonderful and beautiful he is even if they're not meant for each other.

   Such a wonderful song to describe a crush.
   Song is pretty self explanatory
   About a girl singing to a guy saying that she likes him a lot and thinks he has such a beautiful soul. And if the two them never get together she hopes that he stays just as wonderful as she remembers him.

   I think this song is about a girl's first crush. She's nervous about talking to him because they're young, like maybe 13 or 14 and she's a little too shy to part of the dating scene. She likes him, but only wants it to go as far as a daydream for the moment. Besides, there are girls on every corner chasing after him because he is so wonderful. She wonders if he knows how beautiful he his. She hopes that when they get older and she's more comfortable with having a relationship he will forget the other girls who think they need to get him first instead of waiting patiently for the right moment and that he will come back around to her. But if he doesn't, she wants him to stay beautiful for the lucky girl who gets to be his girlfriend. Lovely song.

   To me this song is about a girl that watches a boy, watches him from a distance or knows him well , either way but thinks his beautiful and really is gonna accomplish a lot in his life and that she hopes along the way , he remembers her and also doesn't lose himself ( like most people do ) she wants him to stay beautiful , basically don't get caught up in the money or fame and above all , don't lose your beauty. ( Inner beauty I mean )

   Directly from Taylor:
   
   Stay Beautiful (Taylor Swift & Liz Rose) - "After hearing my songs, a lot of people a
   sk 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 is about a boy named Cory who Taylor either knows well or knows about from a distance but obviously likes. She says he's beautiful and he doesn't know it, maybe not just physically but also with a beautiful personality. In the song it seems like all the girls watch him and wonder if he knows he's beautiful. Taylor wants him to know that he is, and he's really going to be someone special in the future. And if he's ready and if he ever remembers her and her words someday after he's "found every thing he looked for" she hopes he will come back to her to be with her. But if he doesn't she still loves him so much she wants him to be happy and to keep his personality. Stay beautiful!

   It's about Taylor loving a boy that doesn't realize all that he is worth. She's hoping that one day he will come to her, but if he doesn't, then stay the amazing boy that she loved.

    As personally close to Corey as Taylor appears to be, she actually doesn't know him at all. She just saw him at school one day, went home, and wrote a song about him!

    This is a song about a boy called Cory. Who doesn't know he's beautiful - maybe not in just a physical way, but has a beautiful personality.
    Basically, in this song, Taylor (who obviously likes him) is saying that he will do great things in his life ("you're really gonna be someone"), and that she hopes that someday, he might remember that it was her who told him this and so will come back and find her - to be with her. However, she then says that even if he doesn't she hopes that he'll "stay beautiful". So, she likes him enough that she wants him to be happy, even if it isn't with her
