Hello Beautiful
Noah Schnacky Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴I was eighteen when we first met
Couldn′t believe how you took my breath
In your sweatshirt, your converse
You didn't even know you were rockin′ my world

Sittin' in line, tryin' to get a coffee
Stealin′ looks, you turned around and caught me
I laughed, and you smiled

And we took a chance to stay for a while

Oh-woah-woah-woah
I never saw you comin′
Oh-woah-woah-woah
But I had to say somethin'

Hello beautiful, I′ve never seen you before
Do you live 'round here, what′s your name beautiful?
The way you looked at me, girl it took my breath away
And I had to introduce myself, I just had to say

Hello beautiful, beautiful, woah-oo-woah
Hello beautiful, beautiful, woah-oo-woah

I got your name, and I got your number
We sat for hours, talkin' to each other
But one night, just wasn′t enough
We were all in, fallin' in love

I tried to see you but your daddy wouldn't let me
He told you, you should just forget me
But what we had, was somethin′ so real and
He didn′t know, the way we feel

Oh-woah-woah-woah
And so I met you in the dark
Oh-woah-woah-woah
Underneath the stars

Hello beautiful, it's good to see you again
I′m glad you found your way down to this riverbend
I know we don't have long, but I′ll take what I can get
Every moment spent with you is worth the consequence

Hello beautiful, beautiful, woah-oo-woah
Hello beautiful, beautiful, woah-oo-woah

And I remember when you called me
Something in your voice had changed
You told me you were moving with your dad to another state
I'm still waiting by this riverbend
Yeah I come here everyday

Waiting for that moment when you find your way
Back to me, and I′ll say

Hello beautiful
Hello beautiful

Line by Line Meaning

I was eighteen when we first met
I was just starting out in life when I ran into you

Couldn't believe how you took my breath
You left me stunned with just one look

In your sweatshirt, your converse
Your style stood out in a crowd of sameness

You didn't even know you were rockin′ my world
You didn't realize how much of an impact you had on me

Sittin' in line, tryin' to get a coffee
Waiting in line for a quick perk-up

Stealin′ looks, you turned around and caught me
I couldn't help but admire you, but you were on to me

I laughed, and you smiled
We shared a lighthearted moment that kicked everything off

And we took a chance to stay for a while
We seized the moment and stayed awhile to get to know each other

Oh-woah-woah-woah
A musical interlude

I never saw you comin′
I never anticipated meeting someone like you

But I had to say somethin'
I couldn't resist introducing myself to someone special

Hello beautiful, I′ve never seen you before
You caught my attention and I'm glad I got to meet you

Do you live 'round here, what′s your name beautiful?
I'm intrigued by you and want to know all about you

The way you looked at me, girl it took my breath away
Your gaze had an impact on me that I'll never forget

And I had to introduce myself, I just had to say
I had to take a chance and introduce myself to you

I got your name, and I got your number
I was lucky enough to get a way to keep in touch with you

We sat for hours, talkin' to each other
We spent time engaging in deep conversation and getting to know each other

But one night, just wasn′t enough
There was something between us that needed more than just a single night

We were all in, fallin' in love
Our feelings were mutual and intense

I tried to see you but your daddy wouldn't let me
Your father was against us being together and didn't want me around

He told you, you should just forget me
He tried to convince you that I wasn't right for you

But what we had, was somethin′ so real and
Our connection was too strong to just let go

He didn′t know, the way we feel
Our love was something only we could understand

Oh-woah-woah-woah
A bridge in the song

And so I met you in the dark
We found a way to connect despite obstacles

Underneath the stars
In a romantic and picturesque setting

Hello beautiful, it's good to see you again
Seeing you brings back memories and feelings I cherish

I′m glad you found your way down to this riverbend
It's a miracle seeing you here, and I'm grateful for it

I know we don't have long, but I′ll take what I can get
Time is short, but I'll cherish every moment we have together

Every moment spent with you is worth the consequence
The price of being with you is nothing compared to the joy you bring me

And I remember when you called me
I remember the sound of your voice whenever my phone rang

Something in your voice had changed
I detected a different tone, something that troubled me

You told me you were moving with your dad to another state
The news was shocking, and I'm still reeling from it

I'm still waiting by this riverbend
I'm still hoping that you'll return to the place we once shared

Yeah I come here everyday
This place holds a special meaning for us, and I'm drawn to it

Waiting for that moment when you find your way back to me, and I′ll say
I'm patiently waiting for the day you come back to me so we can be together again

Hello beautiful
I will always think of you as the most beautiful person in the world
