Tarkio - 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
