Ellis Paul - 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
