Beautiful So Far Lyrics

I want your face to be like any other face I've known
I want your stare to penetrate the places you've been shown
I want your jacket to remain the colour I recall
I want your words to sound like candy or I'll shoot you all

and the day has been beautiful so far
yeah, the day has been beautiful so far

I want your skinny legs to be a phoney false alarm
I want your bony ass to drag itself back to the farm
I want the whiteness in your cheeks to be replaced with red
then I want spiderman to spin a cobweb in your head

and the day has been beautiful so far
yeah, the day has been beautiful so far
I'm here with you, driving in your car
yeah, the day has been beautiful so far

I want my frame to be much prettier than yours can be
I want the tigers to ignore you and then follow me
I want high heels put on my sneakers so that you can see
that I will always be much happier, more wild and free

and the day has been beautiful so far
yeah, the day has been beautiful so far
I'm here with you, driving in your car
yeah, the day has been beautiful so far

I want my words to grow more eloquent before you go
I want your wits to be more seldom spent, I reap your soul
I want the darkness in my names to cover up your smile
I want your number so that no one else can have a dime

and the day has been beautiful so far
yeah, the day has been beautiful so far
yeah, the day has been beautiful so far
I'm here with you, driving in your car
yeah, the day has been beautiful so far

I think the I-person in this song would like things to be as they've always been, and that she likes the you-person very much, and would sacrifice herself for the other person.

I'd like to correct the lyrics of the last verse:

"I want my words to grow more eloquent before you go I want your wits to be more seldom spent, I reap, you sow I want the darkness in my deeds to cover up your smile I want your number so that no-one else can ever dial"

Also, I disagree about this song with Fredrik. I view this song with the I-person being obsessively willing to possess the you-person. I wouldn't call it love exactly, obsession could do. I think it seems that the I isn't interested in gaining love from the you, just having him/her.

And the piano in this song is absolutely wonderful! First the very simple yet beautiful intro, then the randomly repeated notes throughout the song, until it starts to ad lib in the last chorus. Like it.
