A Beautiful Mess (Live at the Charter One Pavilion, Chicago, IL, 8/13/2009) - 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

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

And kind of turn themselves into knives

And don't mind my nerve you could 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 i'm paraphrasing this relationship we're staging

And what 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 so nice to say that we played in the dirt oh

'Cause dear 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

And through timeless words and priceless pictures

We will fly like birds not of this earth

And tides may turn and hearts disfigure

But that's no concern when we're wounded together

And we tore our dresses and we stained our shirts

But it's so nice today

Oh the wait it was so worth it
