The Mountain Goats - The Mess Inside lyrics

We took a weekend, drove to Provo The snow was white and fluffy A weekend in Utah won't fix what's wrong with us The gray sky was vast and real cryptic above me I wanted you To love me like you used to do We took two weeks in the Bahamas Went out dancing every night Tried to find the creeping sense of dread with temporal things Most of the time I guess I felt alright But I wanted you To love me like you used to do But you cannot run And you cannot hide From the wreck we've made of our house From the mess inside We went down to New Orleans One weekend in the spring Looked hard for what we'd lost It was painful to admit it but we couldn't find a thing I wanted you To love me like you used to do We went to New York City in September Took the train out of Manhattan to the Grand Army stop Found that bench we'd sat together on a thousand years ago When I felt such love for you I thought my heart was gonna pop I wanted you To love me like you used to do But I cannot run And I can't hide From the wreck we've made of our house From the mess inside
