Beauty And The Mess - Nickel Creek Lyrics

Beauty And The Mess

Blue waters, blue eyes color me.
if any could come this close I'd have let them see;
again and again, playing one more song.
it's all i really wanted, who's to say that's wrong?

ain't that what you want them to know?
all they get of you is what they get out of the show;
the rest is mine, I guess, the beauty and the mess,
to hide.
I pull myself under and down I go again.
It's just a little bit hard letting them in,
looking at the world through elusive eyes.
I hide in the spotlight, it's a great disguise.

ain't that what you want them to know?
all they, all they get of you is what they get out of the show;
the rest is mine, I guess, the beauty and the mess,
to hide.

behind the melody the words don't mean a thing,
but every tune I play would give whatever I've not said away.
behind the melody the words don't mean a thing,
but every tune I play would give whatever I've not said away.
behind the melody the words don't mean a thing,
but every tune I play would give whatever I've not said away.

ain't that what you want them to know?
all they, all they get of you, is all they get of you, is what they get out of the show;
the rest is mine, I guess, the beauty and the mess...
ain't that what you want them to know?
all they get of you is what they get out of the show;
the rest is mine, I guess, the beauty and the mess,
the rest, the rest is mine, I guess, the beauty and the mess, the rest, the rest is
mine, I guess, I guess, the beauty and the mess, to hide.
