A Beautiful Mess Lyrics by Jason Mraz
You got the best of both worlds
You’re the kinda 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 shoddy cursive I’ve been reading
Your style is quite selective
Though your mind is rather reckless
Well, I guess it just suggests
That this is just what happiness is
And, what a beautiful mess this is
It’s like we’re 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 could call it fiction
But I like being submerged
In your contradictions, dear
‘Cause here we are, here we are
Although, you are 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 I’m paraphrasing
This relationship we’re staging
And 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 say
Kind of turn themselves into blades
Kind and courteous is a life, I’ve heard
But it’s nice to say that we played in the dirt, oh, dear
‘Cause here we are, here we are
(Here we are)
Here we are
Here we are
Here we are
(Here we are)
(Here we are)
Here we are
We’re still here
What a beautiful mess this is
Well, it’s like taking a guess
When the only answer is “Yes”
And through timeless words
And 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’ve tore our dresses and stained our shirts
But it’s nice today
Oh, the wait was so worth it
