Beautiful Mess- Jason Mraz

You’ve got the best of both worlds;
you’re the kind of girl who can take down a man
and lift him back up again.
You are strong but you’re needy,
humble but you’re greedy.
And based on your body language
and shotty cursive I’ve been reading,
you’re style is quite selective
though your mind is rather reckless.
Well I guess it just suggests
that this is just what happiness is.

Hey, what a beautiful mess this is
It’s like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write
Kind of turn themselves into knives
And don't mind my nerve you can call it fiction
‘Cause I like being submerged in your contradictions dear
‘Cause here we are, here we are

Although you were biased, I love your advice.
Your comebacks they’re quick
and probably have to do with your insecurities
There’s no shame in being crazy,
Depending on how you take these words
they're paraphrasing this relationship we’re staging.

And it’s a beautiful mess, yes it is.
It’s like we're picking up trash in dresses.

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say
kind of turn themselves into blades.
And the kind and courteous is a life I’ve heard,
but it’s nice to say that we played in the dirt.
Cause here, here we are.
Here we are.
We're still here.

And what a beautiful mess this is.
It’s like taking a guess
when the only answer is "yes."

And through timeless words in priceless pictures,
we’ll fly like birds not of this earth.
And tides they turn and hearts disfigure,
but that’s no concern when we’re wounded together.
And we tore our dresses and stained our shirts,
but it’s nice today.
Oh, the wait was so worth it.
