Beam Me Up
P!nk Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a whole other conversation going on
In a parallel universe
Where nothing breaks and nothing hurts
There's a waltz playing frozen in time
Blades of grass on tiny bare feet
I look at you and you're looking at me

Could you beam me up,
Give me a minute, I don't know what I'd say in it
Probably just stare, happy just to be there holding your face
Beam me up,
Let me be lighter, I'm tired of being a fighter,I think,
A minute's enough,
Just beam me up.

Some black birds soaring in the sky,
Barely a breath like our one last sight
Tell me that was you, saying goodbye,
There are times I feel the shivering cold,
It only happens when I'm on my own,
That's how you tell me, I'm not alone

Could you beam me up,
Give me a minute, I don't know what I'd say in it
I'd Probably just stare, happy just to be there, holding your face
Beam me up,
Let me be lighter, I'm tired of being a fighter,I think,
A minute's enough,
Just beam me up.

In my head, I see your baby blues
I hear your voice and I, I break in two and now there's
One of me, with you

So when I need you can I send you a sign
I'll burn a candle and turn off the lights
I'll pick a star and watch you shine

Just beam me up,
Give me a minute, I don't know what I'd say in it
Probably just stare, happy just to be there, holding your face
Beam me up,
Let me be lighter, I'm tired of being a fighter,I think,
A minute's enough,
Beam me up
Beam me up




Beam me up
Could you beam me up

I lost my mother 3 weeks ago to suicide, she always loved Pink’s music. She related to lyrics on another level; now I’m feeling this one deeply. So beautiful.

@ThePsychicCellPhones

I know this is 3 years late but I’m sorry. Beautiful song indeed

@MHStrayCat23

Do something in her memory, she felt a lot of pain that was deeper than anyone could understand, and maybe we weren't meant to. She is still a light, even with the darkness that surrounded her...that light can shine it's brightest now! Bless You..

Today is my brother's 24th birthday as he committed suicide in 2019
