Beautifully Unconventional Lyrics
I watch you and your friends
You stick out so sorely girl
Did you grow up a poorly girl?
Girls who don’t go out and play
Are you at your wits' end?
With these meaningless conversations
Well I’ll tell you they test my patience
And maybe we could be friends
As light as a feather why oh
Grade A smart clever why oh
She’s no Heather why oh
So I see a life together why
Hannah! She lives! She breathes!
She’s beautifully unconventional
She seems to be from the best place in the world
Must be the best place in the world
Head way up in a storm cloud
Calm but so extreme
Did you ever analyze your dreams
You know nothing is what it seems
You’re a walking contradiction
Cute with such conviction
But dark as the Devil who walks
And as loyal as a stalker who stalks
Changing like the weather why oh
As tough as leather why oh
Floating in the ether why oh
Friends forever why
Hannah! She lives! She breathes!
She’s beautifully unconventional
She seems to be from the best place in the world
Must be the best place in the world
She’s beautifully (unconventional)
I long to see (her rise above us all)
I long to be (with her forever more)
She’s beautifully
As light as a feather
Grade A smart clever
Floating in the ether
Friends forever I hope
You stick out so sorely girl
Did you grow up a poorly girl?
Girls who don’t go out and play
Are you at your wits' end?
With these meaningless conversations
Well I’ll tell you they test my patience
And maybe we could be friends
Grade A smart clever why oh
She’s no Heather why oh
So I see a life together why
She’s beautifully unconventional
She seems to be from the best place in the world
Must be the best place in the world
Calm but so extreme
Did you ever analyze your dreams
You know nothing is what it seems
You’re a walking contradiction
Cute with such conviction
But dark as the Devil who walks
And as loyal as a stalker who stalks
As tough as leather why oh
Floating in the ether why oh
Friends forever why
She’s beautifully unconventional
She seems to be from the best place in the world
Must be the best place in the world
I long to see (her rise above us all)
I long to be (with her forever more)
She’s beautifully
Grade A smart clever
Floating in the ether
Friends forever I hope

One of the most interesting songs lyrically from Ellie, packaged in a pop song that would easily fit in the late 1980s. There are clever little touchstones in phrases like "You're a walking contradiction....Cute with such conviction" echoing the kristofferson lyric made famous in Taxi Driver. The song seems to be aimed at a pop culture personality in the age of social media. Hannah and Heather may be direct references to a superficial girl who may be universally adored but only for as long as the fickle fans change their minds.
