[Instrumental Opening] [Verse 1] I’ve been thinking these thoughts about you Soft and pretty, graceful and lovely, Can they even know, a love true to few Charming and elegant, neat and pleasant, I’m a mess… you’re a smile… And I’ve been thinking these things about you Dumb and stupid, foolish and rooted, Can they even know, a hate few but true Simple and irrelevant, dull and present, I’m a mess… you’re a fire… [Instrumental Bridge] [Chorus] Eyes full of joy Distinct and destroyed, A face that makes me laugh A tongue understaffed, I want to love, I want to breathe, I want to hate, I want to seethe, Cause I’m a mess… you’re a smile… And I’m a mess… you’re a fire… [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 2] Hopeless, thinking, There can be many options, Soulless, drinking, There can be many toxins, Expunged and vomit from my heart Indulged and promised at the start, I lied and I tried but I lied when I tried, I died when I pried but I dried when I cried, So I’ll just wait, and we’ll be fine, I’ll just wait, and we’ll be fine, And I’ll just wait, and we’ll be fine… [Instrumental Bridge] [Bridge] Tell me what I see A shaggy rag undersea Unable to contain The hate I sustain The liquid volume, Overflows… [Instrumental Bridge] [Chorus] Eyes full of joy Distinct and destroyed, A face that makes me laugh A tongue understaffed, I want to love, I want to breathe, I want to hate, I want to seethe, Cause I’m a mess… you’re a smile… And I’m a mess… you’re a fire… [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 3] I hope in some way that I’m still useful, I know that today I’m not fruitful, But I pray that I’ll be a dream Like a clear spring stream, Cleansed of my impurities That take priority… And you’re still, breathing, Your face is crushed, And you’re still, breathing, Your head is cracked, And you’re still, breathing, Your eyes track mine, And I’m still, breathing… [Instrumental Bridge] [Bridge 2] Is this the way The things I do, Mad as pleas In the night, Orange and aflame, To hide my shame, The love I held, Overflows… [Instrumental Bridge] [Chorus] Eyes full of joy Distinct and destroyed, A face that makes me laugh A tongue understaffed, I want to love, I want to breathe, I want to hate, I want to seethe, Cause I’m a mess… you’re a smile… And I’m a mess… you’re a fire… [Instrumental Bridge] [Outro] I’ve been saying the same damn things, I’m a mess… you’re a smile… And I’ve been scratching the same damn itch, I’m a mess… you’re a fire… It’s incorrect, so indirect, I love to hate you I really do, But I don’t want to hurt you It’s really true, So I’ll just wait, and we’ll be fine, I’ll just wait, and we’ll be fine, And I’ll just wait, and we’ll be fine… Cause I’m a mess… you’re a smile… And I’m a mess… you’re a fire… [Instrumental Fade Out]
