A Beutiful Mess (From a Raining Jane session) Songtext
von Jason Mraz

One, two, three

You 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

Based on your body language
And shoddy cursive I've been reading
Your style is quite selective
But 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 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 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 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 (here we are)
(Here we are) mm-mm
(Here we are)
(Here we are) mm-mm
(Here we are) mm-mm
(Here we are) mm-mm
(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 (here we are)
And priceless pictures (here we are)
We′ll fly like birds (here we are)
Not of this earth (here we are)
Tides they turn (here we are)
Hearts disfigure (here we are)

But that's no concern (here we are)
When we′re wounded together (here we are)
And we tore our dresses (here we are)
And stained our shirts (here we are)
But it's nice today

Oh, the wait was so worth it
