Maria's Beautiful Mess lyrics

Song information

Artist: Ellis Paul
Album: Live

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
