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

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

And, what a beautiful mess this is

What it's like we're 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 could call it fiction

But 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 are paraphrasing this relationship we're staging

And what a beautiful mess this is

What it's like 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

Oh dear, 'cause here, 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 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.
