Ellis Paul Maria`s Beautiful Mess Lyrics

Maria`s Beautiful Mess Lyrics

She fell to the mattress 
with the grace of an actress
You`re falling like a thief from a roof. 
She`s asking for proof , "Are you staying?" 
Outside you hear mission bells.

Welcome to Maria`s beautiful mess, 
In a cluttered apartment on the West Side. 
She pulls the blinds while, 
You watch how her dress falls round her .

Chorus
And the world slows, a clock shows 
A wrinkle in the flow of time 
And she steps close, her eyes glow, 
Lips pop open like a bottle of wine

And she loves like it`s thirst 
Like she`s never been hurt, 
She dances just like nobody`s watching. 
Is this love? Is this cursed? 
It feels like the first time falling 
Nobody`s watching, Nobody`s watching, 
Nobody`s watching, watching 

Now she puts on some music, 
She asks you to choose it 
You sang her back a Gershwin line. 
Now Ella is singing holy, soulfully 
Bringing up better times

And beneath the tunes, 
She`s smiling on an unmade bed 
She says, "What`s in the middle that scares you, 
Does it dare you 
To take a moment and just slow down?"

Chorus

Pull the curtains all down 
On the prince or a clown, 
She`s smiling like the Mona Lisa. 
You could conquer this town. 
If your feet touched the ground, 
But you`re falling boy 
I know, I see you
I see you, I see, I see,
I see you
