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
   
   Based on your body language,
                                 
   Your shouted cursive I've been reading
          
   You're style is quite selective,
               
   Though your mind is rather reckless
           
   Well I guess it just suggests,
                              
   That this is just what happiness is

BRIDGE

                             
   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

VERSE 2

                              
   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 they're paraphrasing this relationship we're staging

BRIDGE

                              
   Hey, what a beautiful mess, yes it is
                                        
   It's like we 're 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
                                            
   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

BRIDGE

                            
   And what a beautiful mess this is
                                     
   It's like taking a guess when the only answer is yes

CHORUS 
                                   
   And through timeless words and priceless pictures
                            
   We'll fly like birds not of this earth
                       
   And tides they turn, 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, all the wait was so worth it.
