A Beautiful Mess / Jason Mraz

You've 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 are strong but you're needy,
Humble but you're greedy
And based on your body language,
And shoddy cursive I've been reading
Your style is quite selective,
though your mind is rather reckless
Well I guess it just suggests
that this is just 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 nerve you could call it fiction
But I like being submerged in your contradictions dear
'Cause here we are, here we are

Although you were 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 what a beautiful mess, yes it is
It's like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say
Kind of turn themselves into blades
And the kind and courteous is a life I've heard
But it's nice to say that we played in the dirt
Cause here, here we are, Here we are
Here we are

We're still here
What a beautiful mess, this is
It's like taking a guess when the only answer is "Yes"

Through, timeless words and priceless pictures We'll fly like birds not of this earth

And 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 its nice today. Oh the wait was so worth it.

I ♥ Kenny Vasoli

Person L, semi-new band with lead singer from TSL Kenny Vasoli, is on tour with Mae! (and Barcelona...and some other bands I don't really care about) I've been a fan since my tweeeen days. I mean, who doesn't love 'The Best of Me' and Kenny's funny long hair? Direction was good but I think I still have to give it to Say It Like You Mean It. All the old stuff aside, I think Person L takes it to a new, grown-up level. I have yet to hear Initial all the way through but when I first heard Storms it was like I was coming home. Chill.

Sad to say, I've been out of the loop with Mae. Singularity is what did it. Sorry guys, it just wasn't all that I hoped for. Seriously, I want to know the process: how did that come after Destination: B-sides or The Everglow?? Mae was my very first show at El Corazon back in Fall 05 (with Mute Math) and I loved them! Hopefully they'll win me back this time...

I'm still super excited! They play in Seattle at Neumos May 13th. I have a physics test the next day and that's the day I have to start dog sitting. What to do, what to do.

He's so smooth

I really want to learn this piece. It's been on repeat but I had to stop so I wouldn't get sick of it. How could you though?
