Gorgeous Lyrics
In a perfect world
In another time
In a far off place
We wouldn't need to justify
Everything we are
And all the we believe
We could finally be
Whoever we both want to be
When we can't be hurt
When we can't be seen
I will call you close
And you will reach for me
When all of the beauty turns to pain
When all of the madness falls like rain
As long as we crash and we collide
We will be gorgeous, you and I
Through the windowpane
Through the bedroom door
The city wants to fight
But it can't touch us anymore
We have come so far
We have shed our skin
The more that's taken from us now
The more we have to give
And when we can't be hurt
And when we can't be seen
I will call you close
And you will reach for me
When all of the beauty turns to pain
When all of the madness falls like rain
As long as we crash and we collide
We will be gorgeous, you and I
And when we are drowning in the noise
I'm gonna stop to find your voice
As long as we crash and we collide
We will be gorgeous, you and I
(We'll be gorgeous)
(We'll be gorgeous)
In a perfect time
(We'll be gorgeous)
Oh, and when we lose our faith
And all that's beautiful
You lift me to this place
Oh
When all of the beauty turns to pain
When all of the madness falls like rain
As long as we crash and we collide
We will be gorgeous, gorgeous, yea
And when we are drowning in the noise
I'm gonna stop and find your voice
As long as we crash and we collide
We will be gorgeous, yea we will be gorgeous
And when I lose my faith
I don't know what to do
You lift me to this place
And make me feel so beautiful
As long as you're right here by my side
We will be gorgeous, you and I
In another time
In a far off place
We wouldn't need to justify
And all the we believe
We could finally be
Whoever we both want to be
When we can't be seen
I will call you close
And you will reach for me
When all of the madness falls like rain
As long as we crash and we collide
We will be gorgeous, you and I
Through the bedroom door
The city wants to fight
But it can't touch us anymore
We have shed our skin
The more that's taken from us now
The more we have to give
And when we can't be seen
I will call you close
And you will reach for me
When all of the madness falls like rain
As long as we crash and we collide
We will be gorgeous, you and I
I'm gonna stop to find your voice
As long as we crash and we collide
We will be gorgeous, you and I
(We'll be gorgeous)
In a perfect time
(We'll be gorgeous)
And all that's beautiful
You lift me to this place
Oh
When all of the madness falls like rain
As long as we crash and we collide
We will be gorgeous, gorgeous, yea
I'm gonna stop and find your voice
As long as we crash and we collide
We will be gorgeous, yea we will be gorgeous
I don't know what to do
You lift me to this place
And make me feel so beautiful
We will be gorgeous, you and I

So at first, I thought this was just about living in a crazy world and they're still gorgeous as a couple even through the chaos, but another thought came to mind. After they had gotten married they were threatened because of being an interracial couple, and I thought it could be about that too. Like, she sings "When all of the beauty turns to pain, when all of the madness falls like rain." They are a beautiful couple and they're in love, so that in and of itself is beautiful, but it becomes painful because people can't look past their differences. She still sees that they'll be gorgeous even when others don't understand though.
Anyways, 2 different thoughts. Either way, I love the song.
I had the same general line of thought, MusicisOxygen, but I actually thought it may have been about homosexual couples. Though I can see why Interracial couples may also come to mind.
They also received threats when they announced her pregnancy and the birth of their child. I think she's taking her personal experience and making a statement about the privacy of relationships, whether they be interracial, homosexual, or just disapproved of. I think that's why she includes "the city wants to fight but it can't touch us anymore". Just because people don't like the fact that she's white and he's black doesn't erase the fact that they love each other.
