Maria's Beautiful Mess Lyrics - Ellis Paul

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
