A Jane and Lisbon song?
Last night (or was it early this morning?) was another one of my sleepless nights, it was after I had calmed down from reading the lastest chapter in "Red Lace" by Donnamour1969. I was listening to a playlist on 8tracks (one of my favorite apps), when a song by Jason Mraz came on . As I listened to the words, my heart stopped beating in my chest. . . and my breath caught in my throat. . . I could have sworn that the lyrics were perfect for Jane and Lisbon.
So, let's discuss this. . . I want to know if you agree with me.
A Beautiful Mess
Jason Mraz
"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're strong, but you're needy
Humble but you're greedy
Based on your body language, and shoddy 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 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 nerves
You can call it fiction because I like being submerged in your condradictions 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
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 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 we are
Here we are
We're still here
And what a beautiful mess this is
It's like taking a guess when they only answer is yes
And through timeless words and priceless pictures
We'll fly like birds
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 way it was so worth it
