The Mess We're In Lyrics

Come just a little closer
Stay just a little longer
Oh, you know I'd stay forever if I could

You felt the same last night
Your fingers curled around mine
When I leave it never feels like it should

As we're getting older
Needing one another more
Feeling close enough to
Raise our voice and slam the door

Look at the mess we've made, love
Oh, look at the mess we're in
I know we used to make time
I know that we've let this slip

There's beauty in total breakdown
There's life behind each shadow
It's hard to hear right now
But I never will let you go

Count the scars on your psyche
As I press on them lightly
I see myself in different stories from your past

And it feels so familiar
Laying down beside the river
Holding on so tight as if to make this last

As we're getting older
Needing one another more
Feeling close enough to
Raise our voice and slam the door

Look at the mess we've made, love
Oh, look at the mess we're in
I know we used to make time
I know that we've let this slip

There's beauty in total breakdown
There's life behind each shadow
It's hard to hear right now
But I never will let you go

I never will let you go
I never will let you go

Look at the mess we've made, love
Oh, look at the mess we're in
I know we used to make time
I know that we've let this slip

There's beauty in total breakdown
There's life behind each shadow
It's hard to hear right now
But I never will let you go
