Mess Of Me Lyrics

Take it down while you lie

It's been so long since I saw you there

And I will no longer be your whipping boy

It's taken me a long time

And it's taken me a long time



And you should know how the heart

Is made of the sum of the lover's parts

But me, I cannot allow this thing to disappear

Or lose it in the sunshine

Or lose it in the sunlight



And I came to tell you what I told you Now you know this precious burden

On our shoulders, let it go

And it took a long time

For picking up what we should have left behind

And that's bound to make a mess of me



So would you call or would you write?

Can't be harder than it is tonight

And I'm staring blankly at this paper moon,

Shining at my slack jaw

And it's shining at my slack jaw



So send for me to your side

There's no stronger love than our love tonight

And I wear my heart upon my tennis shoes,

Laces always untied

And i'm standing on the other side
