Stay Beautiful

this is one of my fave T Swift Songs. I like to interpret stories with T Swift songs so I think it's telling a story about a guy (named Cory) and a girl who are dating in high school, the guy is a senior and the girl is a sophmore, possibly a junior and the time frame, in my opinion is August ( a few weeks before he gradutes). The guy isn't necessarily the most popular guy in school (I like to think that he's the nerdy type :p ) but he's definitely the most good looking and has the best personality and he's charming and because of that all the girls (including the one he's with) want to be with him but he has no knowledge of that because he just see's himself as a "normal" guy and only has eyes for the girl (this scenario is highlighted in the lyric "there's pretty girls on every corner they watch him as he's walking home sayin' "does he know?" will you ever know?"). He's a good bf he does a lot for the girl and he makes her laugh a lot , and the girl is savoring these last days they have together so when she's he's gone off to college she can always have the memories to comfort her, and she wants to tell him how much he means to her but she can never find the right time ( Cory finds another way to be the highlight of my day...taking pictures in my mind so I can save them for a rainy day..It's hard to make conversation when he's taking my breath away..I should say hey by the way {chorus}) Fast forward to the weekend he is about to leave, they have their last moments together and the girl tells Cory that he is too good to be true and she doesn't know if they will ever see each other again but she wants him to know that he's a beautiful person inside and out and that he will go far, she isn't upset about his leaving because she just wants him to be happy but if he ever wants to look her up once he finds everything he's looking for, she hopes and prays that they are both in good position to re conncet and pick up where they left off..but if not and they end up finding new loves or never seeing each other again, she wants him to never change and to simply "stay beautiful" :) So basically they both mutually break up, but it's a good one because they are grateful for the memories. I like how TSwift made this song happy and sunny and not depressing and how the girl narrating the story seems mature and not whiny and clingy. It's a good song for couples who are in their last stages of high school or who have to leave each other for whateveer reason. Great song!
