A Beautiful Mess
Jason Mraz
[Verse 1]
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 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

[Chorus]
Hey, what a beautiful mess this is
It's like picking up trash in dresses

[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
Hey, what a beautiful mess this is
It's like picking up trash in dresses

[Verse 4]
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
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
It's like taking a guess when the only answer is "Yes"

[Verse 5]
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

[Outro]
And we tore our dresses and stained our shirts
But it's nice today. Oh, the wait was so worth it
Write the lyrics for a rock song made in 2008, titled "A Beautiful Mess", by artist "Jason Mraz".
