Excuse The Mess Lyrics

Wasn't tryin' to meet nobody, see nobody
What I've got goin' on's a lot for somebody
To deal with 'cause the deal is
I'm still sweepin' up the pieces
I was just lookin' for a lighter and a smoke
You were lookin' too, try to get to know
My name, where I'm from, what I'm thinkin'
So if you wanna be more than a weekend

Please excuse the mess
I know I'm a little bit everywhere
There's a hell of a fire in my chest
That ain't been put out, but I'm gettin' there
I know I should clean up my act, clean up my mind
So watch your step if you're steppin' inside
Ain't cared enough to pick it up yet, so until then
Please excuse the mess

Most people try to seem perfect, smile on the surface
But the wine and the want-to both ain't workin'
I apologize for the wreck you might find, might need a little time

Please excuse the mess
I know I'm a little bit everywhere
There's a hell of a fire in my chest
That ain't been put out, but I'm gettin' there
I know I should clean up my act, clean up my mind
So watch your step if you're steppin' inside
Ain't cared enough to pick it up yet, so until then
Please excuse the mess

Ooh, yeah

I was just lookin' for a lighter and a smoke
You were lookin' too, try to get to know
My name, where I'm from, what I'm thinkin'
So if you wanna be more than a weekend

Please excuse the mess
I know I'm a little bit everywhere
There's a hell of a fire in my chest
That ain't been put out, but I'm gettin' there
I know I should clean up my act, clean up my mind
So watch your step if you're steppin' inside
Ain't cared enough to pick it up yet, so until then
Please excuse the mess

Oh, please excuse the mess
Please excuse the mess, yeah
Please excuse the mess
