[Intro]
          

[Verse]
               
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 shouted 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.

[Pre-Chorus]
                           
  Hey, what a beautiful mess this is.
                                
  It’s like picking up trash in dresses

[Chorus]
                              
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

[Interlude]
*         

[Verse]
                           
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 that paraphrasing this relationship we’re staging

[Pre-Chorus]
                          
  And it’s a beautiful mess, yes it is
                                       
  It’s like, we are picking up trash in dresses

[Chorus]
                              
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

[Verse]
                                     
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

[Pre-Chorus]
                           
  And what a beautiful mess this is
                                   
  It’s like taking a guess when the only answer is yes

[Chorus]
                             
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

[Outro]
