Beautiful Girl
Chord Overstreet Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can you hear me, barely breathing?
As you pass me by you're an angel
With that body, got me crazy
Where that even...
I'm a mess, I'm wrecked
... makes me feel like

Chorus:

Beautiful girl, can you see me falling?
All I wanna is you
Make me some beautiful work,
That my heart is calling, so cut up in you
I wish I could care you away
And I don't even know your name!
Do you even know, beautiful girl?

Conversations I imagine,
For they're in my head and I wake up
And I'm dreaming, I am here now, baby in my bed
I'm messed, I'm wrecked
If I ask, would you say yes?

Chorus:
Beautiful girl, can you see me falling?
All I wanna is you
Make me some beautiful work,
That my heart is calling, so cut up in you
I wish I could care you away
And I don't even know your name!
Do you even know you're a beautiful girl?
Yeah, yeah, yeah can you see me falling?
Yeah, baby I'm falling!

Can you hear me,
That I'm breathing as you pass me by

Chorus:
Beautiful girl, can you see me falling?
All I wanna is you
Make me some beautiful work,
That my heart is calling, so cut up in you
I wish I could care you away
And I don't even know your name!
I'll never let go,
Do you even know you're a beautiful girl?

Yeah, yeah, you know
Do you even know you're a beautiful girl?
