Ellis Paul - Maria's Beautiful Mess Lyrics
She fell to the mattressWith the grace of an actressYoure falling like a thief from a roof.Shes asking for proof , are you staying?Outside you hear mission bells.Welcome to marias beautiful mess,In a cluttered apartment on the west side.She pulls the blinds while,You watch how her dress falls round her .ChorusAnd the world slows, a clock showsA wrinkle in the flow of timeAnd she steps close, her eyes glow,Lips pop open like a bottle of wineAnd she loves like its thirstLike shes never been hurt,She dances just like nobodys watching.Is this love? is this cursed?It feels like the first time fallingNobodys watching, nobodys watching,Nobodys watching, watchingNow she puts on some music,She asks you to choose itYou sang her back a gershwin line.Now ella is singing holy, soulfullyBringing up better timesAnd beneath the tunes,Shes smiling on an unmade bedShe says, whats in the middle that scares you,Does it dare youTo take a moment and just slow down?ChorusPull the curtains all downOn the prince or a clown,Shes smiling like the mona lisa.You could conquer this town.If your feet touched the ground,But youre falling boyI know, I see youI see you, I see, I see,I see you
