Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Far far, there was this little girl
She was praying for something to happen to her
Everyday she writes words and more words
Just to spit out her thoughts that keep floating inside
And she's strong when the dreams come
'Cause they take her, cover her, there are all over
The reality looks far now, but don't go
[Verse 2]
How can you stay outside?
There's a beautiful mess inside
How can you stay outside?
There's a beautiful mess inside
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
[Verse 3]
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
Far far, there was this little girl
She was praying for something good to happen to her
From time to time, there are colors and shapes
Dazzling her eyes, tickling her hands
They invent her new world with
Oil skies and aquarelle rivers
But don't you run away already, please don't go
[Verse 4]
How can you stay outside?
There's a beautiful mess inside
How can you stay outside?
There's a beautiful mess inside
Take a deep breath and dive
There's a beautiful mess inside
How can you stay outside?
There's a beautiful mess inside, beautiful mess inside
Beautiful, beautiful
[Verse 5]
Far far, there was this little girl
She was praying for something big to happen to her
Every night she hears beautiful, strange music
It's everywhere, there's nowhere to hide
But if it fades, she begs "Oh Lord, don't
Take it from me. Don't take it." She says
I guess I have to give it birth, to give it birth
I guess (I guess) I guess I have to give it birth
I guess I have to, have to give it birth
[Verse 6]
There's a beautiful mess inside
And it's everywhere
Just look at yourself now deep inside
Deeper than you ever did
Deeper than you ever dared
There's a beautiful mess inside
Beautiful mess inside
