Beautiful Girl
Pete Droge Lyrics

I woke up near rittenhouse square
I awoke in a location near Rittenhouse Square.

There was noise in the hall; snow was flowing in the air
There were sounds emanating from the hallway, while snow was falling from the atmosphere.

And I could see just then the flashing spark Of the match to my first smoke
I was able to witness the brief moment of illumination caused by the striking of the match I used to light my initial cigarette.

Some houses are built to last It's the couple inside that change too fast I can see their faces looking through the glass They're not where they belong
Certain residences are structurally sound and able to withstand the test of time, however, the dynamic of the individuals within those homes can transform too quickly. I can distinguish their countenances, peering through the windowpane, and perceive that they are not in their rightful place.

I want to stay with you, babe. Won't you let me stay? You're a beautiful girl. I'm right where I belong, babe. I'm here with you. You're a beautiful girl.
My desire is to remain in your presence, my love. Would you consent to me remaining here? You are an aesthetically appealing woman. I am currently in the location that I am destined to be in, dearest. I am with you, my love. You are an attractive woman.

I see your feet at the edge of the bed While an old love song is creeping into your head And as your eyes just closed I could only guess If you were dreaming of me again
I observe that your feet are situated near the edge of the bed. You are beginning to listen to an aged song of love, causing it to tunnel into your mind. In addition, right as your eyes just shut, I can only speculate if you are once again dreaming of my presence.

Stained glass casts a flickering light With the curtains closed I can't tell if it's night But I know for sure that this sure feels right With you here between my arms
Tainted glass emits an unsteadying light, generating intermittent flashes of illumination. Due to the obstructed view the curtains produce, I am unable to discern if it is already night. Nevertheless, I know for certain that this moment feels sublime, with you nestled between my outstretched limbs.

And I hope that you can take me When I'm going out of my head. And I hope that you will keep me Keep me warm in your bed.
I am optimistic that you will acknowledge me when I am on the verge of insanity, and maintain me during those periods. And, I have faith that you will provide me with warmth and love, while we share the same bed.
