Mess

I got bruises on my body, scratches on my face Cookie crumbs, empty bottles all over the place And my bathroom mirror seemed to lose its shine When you leave you always leave a little mess behind When you leave you always leave a little mess Oh I am cleanin’ out my cupboards, dustin’ off my frames Scrub my mouth with soap so I can’t whisper your name Sweeping 'round in circles, tryna’ get you off my mind When you leave you always leave a little mess behind When you leave you always leave a little mess Your cigarette smell, broke leather jacket taste It lingers in the air, right in front of my face You’re like a bar marker star stamp I can’t scrub off You’re like a tattered ankle bracelet I can’t seem to unknot And if you want to come around, I'm caught It’s so early in the morning, so late at night When you pull my hair and start a little play fight We are kissin’ in dark corners on your parents' floor The kind of love that makes my knees and elbows sore The kind of love that makes me just want more Your cigarette smell, broke leather jacket taste It lingers in the air, and it stays all day I got a blue stained t-shirt, my scratches bleed I’m sure everyone on the subway can see You make a mess, you make a mess of me Oh, I am usually so clean, baby usually so sharp But you always come around when I’m about to fall apart I’m like a fragile house of cards and you’re that small gust of wind Sweep by, quite the surprise, I’m on the floor again Your cigarette smell, broke leather jacket taste It lingers in the air and it never goes away You’re like a bar marker star stamp I can’t scrub off You’re like a tattered ankle bracelet I don’t wanna unknot And if you want to come around, I'm caught And if you wanna get me down, I’m got And if you wanna know how much, it's a lot Come over, come over, are we both in town Come over, come over, ‘cause I want you around I want you, I want you, to rip up my dress I want you, I want you to make, me a mess
