The Beautiful Girls Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Girl, I''ll meet you underneath the tree where I first tried to kiss you.
Well when I was 4 and you were 3 you know we were meant to
Be married someday but life goes away before you notice it leave.

Now all those places have all gone away
Where we used to hang out with our friends and say
"One day we're gonna live, we're gonna live, we're gonna live, gonna live it up."
So close to the surface our hearts beating.

Was the only sound we'd hear deciding
What we were gonna do, we were gonna do,
We were gonna do to push on through.

And if I told you I was worth it would you tell me you won't go?
Lord knows I try but I'm not perfect.
But I told you so. Yes I did you know
And if its all show, then we're already gone.

And I know its only been a while, but I still miss you.
I'd give anything if it'd make me be here with you.
See the more that things change, the more they're the same.
But there'll always be you and me.

Since all we ever tried to do's been undone
Maybe we can maybe someday run away
We could be new, we could be new
We could be new girl, me and you.
Or we'll laugh at stupid things that we've done
Never realising what we've become
Until it's too, until it's too
Until it's too late to be true.

And if I told you I was worth it would you tell me you won't go?
Lord knows I try but I'm not perfect.

But I told you so. Yes I did you know
And if its all show, then we're already gone.

Overall Meaning

The Beautiful Girls' song "We're Already Gone" is a nostalgic and emotional piece about lost love and missed opportunities. The song tells the story of a couple who met when they were very young, and who had plans to get married one day. However, as they grew up, life got in the way, and they lost touch. The lyrics reminisce about the moments they shared together, the places they used to hang out, and the dreams they had for their future. The tree where the singer first tried to kiss his lover serves as a symbol of their first romantic encounter, and how everything seemed possible at the time.

The chorus of the song is particularly powerful, as it addresses the doubts and regrets of the singer. He wonders if his lover would stay with him even if he isn't perfect, and if their relationship is worth fighting for. He then acknowledges that maybe everything they had was just a facade, and that they're already gone from each other's lives. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the singer expressing his wish to run away with his lover and start anew.

Overall, "We're Already Gone" is a deeply introspective and touching song that explores the complexities of modern relationships and the bittersweet memories of lost love.

Line by Line Meaning

Girl, I'll meet you underneath the tree where I first tried to kiss you.
I want to meet you where we once shared a special moment.

Well when I was 4 and you were 3 you know we were meant to be married someday but life goes away before you notice it leave.
Even at a young age, we knew we had a special connection, but life goes by so quickly.

Now all those places have all gone away Where we used to hang out with our friends and say One day we're gonna live, we're gonna live, we're gonna live, gonna live it up.
The places we used to go with our friends are gone, but we always talked about living life to the fullest.

So close to the surface our hearts beating. Was the only sound we'd hear deciding What we were gonna do, we were gonna do, We were gonna do to push on through.
We were once so in tune with each other that we could hear our hearts beating, and we always made decisions to keep pushing forward.

And if I told you I was worth it would you tell me you won't go? Lord knows I try but I'm not perfect. But I told you so. Yes I did you know And if its all show, then we're already gone.
If I try to convince you I'm worth sticking around for, will you still leave? I know I'm not perfect, but if our love is just a show, then it's already over.

And I know its only been a while, but I still miss you. I'd give anything if it'd make me be here with you.
It hasn't been that long, but I still long to be with you and would do anything to make it happen.

See the more that things change, the more they're the same. But there'll always be you and me.
Even though things change, our love remains the same, and we'll always have each other.

Since all we ever tried to do's been undone. Maybe we can maybe someday run away. We could be new, we could be new. We could be new girl, me and you.
Everything we tried to do together has fallen apart, so maybe we can start anew by running away together.

Or we'll laugh at stupid things that we've done Never realising what we've become Until it's too, until it's too Until it's too late to be true.
We can look back and laugh at the silly things we've done, but we may not realize what we've lost until it's too late.

Saved my life this album, well the whole band in general to be honest, big shout out to 'Learn Yourself' too. Living in Brasil by myself as an angry/lost 16 year old kid someone introduced me to TBG.... The musicality and lyrics helped me through the existential crisis' a 16y/o kid faces and planted the seeds which shaped my mentality into what it is today... I will be forever grateful to TBG, led me on a path of love and knowledge at the time I was quickly heading down a lonely road. Without you guys I would be a totally worse version of myself. Fucking huge love hombres. Stay real.
