A Beautiful Mess (From A Raining Jane Sessions) [2023 Remaster]

One, two, three

You 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 shouty 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
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

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
They're paraphrasing
This relationship we're staging

And it's 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 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) mm-mm
(Here we are)
(Here we are) mm-mm
(Here we are) mm-mm
(Here we are) mm-mm
(Here we are)
We're still here

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

And through timeless words (here we are)
And priceless pictures (here we are)
We'll fly like birds (here we are)
Not of this earth (here we are)
Tides they turn (here we are)
Hearts disfigure (here we are)
But that's no concern (here we are)
When we're wounded together (here we are)
And we tore our dresses (here we are)
And stained our shirts (here we are)

But it's nice today
Oh, the wait was so worth it
