You're Beautiful
Kensington Square Lyrics

Kensington Square's You're Beautiful is a song that tells the story of a man who falls in love with a woman he sees on the subway. He describes his life as brilliant and his love as pure, but this doesn't stop him from developing feelings for a woman who he saw only briefly. Even though she was with another man, he decides not to lose sleep over it because he has a plan. He thinks she is beautiful and he saw her face in a crowded place that he doesn't know what to do because he will never be with her.

The lyrics reflect the feeling of longing and the pain of unrequited love. The singer's observation of beauty in the mundane objects that surround him reveals his sensitivity and his appreciation of small things. The fact that he saw the woman only once indicates how impactful that single moment was, and how it changed his life forever. By seeing her, he was inspired to pursue a plan to achieve his desires which may have nothing to do with her; rather, it is a realization of his own aspirations. One curious element of the song’s narrative is the line about him being "fucking high.” Despite the use of profanity possibly detracting from the line’s overall impact, it does seem to convey a sense of how the singer is grappling with a life that is not necessarily as perfect as he makes it out to be.
