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
And 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 [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/j/jason_mraz/a_beautiful_mess.html ]
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 I'm paraphrasing this relationship we're staging
And 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 say
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 oh dear
Cause here we are, Here we are
Here we are [x7]
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 times 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 wait was so worth it.
The beautiful mess he is talking about is a really tough bitch on the outside, but a hopeless romantic on the inside. He see's right through her. Her complex life scares the many men around her away, but its not enough to make him leave. She is imperfectly perfect, and in his lifetime he has been meeting girls, but none yet like her. She's special.

Evil disguised in beauty.. Selfish lover who loves just for sake of staying together.

Clearly about a romance with another songwriter or author who used their relationship in her writings, and some of it was a bit too close for comfort.

Going back and forth, maybe in thought, maybe actually walking the distance, just because you know she is the one that with all her downs, and imperfections, is the actual perfect girl for you... The thing is, will she know on time that you are the man for her?

I think its about a relationship he knows isnt working out. "the relationship we're staging" they put on smiles and pretend to be happy "picking up trash in dresses" and sometimes really are but behind the scenes it is falling apart. Its a dysfunctional love/hate thing.

Esta canción habla de la contradicción, de lo incomprensible. Yo viví un amor incomprensible que terminó así de incomprensiblemente. Él no va a saber jamás que cada día pienso en él... Juan traferro era un sueño dormido que ni aún desapareciendo como lo hizo va a matar lo que siento.

I think he is talking about a girl with tons of issues and how even though everything is a mess sometimes and she can be hard to handle but he loves her anyways.

A man trying to change a woman who has become who she is because of her difficult past which forced her to be defensive. It's a beautiful mess becuase he see her faults but loves her all the same. Her words sting but playing in the dirt will only help to strengthen their relationship.
I couldnt decide if this song was a " i love you, even though you're crazy" or a break-up song, like " it was fun while it lasted. You're crazy but there where beautiful moments " every time i hear this it switches between the two.
