Mess of Mistakes - Elysian Fields

Don’t you wanna get through the night

Something said for sleeping

Instead you choose to fight

And I’m catching the chill

Off this windowpane

Pelted left and right with your acid rain

It’s going to take a mess of mistakes to get off

And I can’t afford

To trip on my sword or get lost

Someone’s in the doghouse

Show some puppy love

You know it could be our house

In there lies the rub

And you’re annihilated by the smallest thing

Cause secretly all you want to do is sing

It’s going to take a mess of mistakes to get off

And I can’t afford to piss off the Lord anymore

Once again I’m sorry

Something that I said

Now we’re both exhausted

Wishing we was dead

The fact there’s life so beautiful makes it worse

When we’re lost to the sun

Like we’re under a curse

Can I get a timeout

Can I call a truce

Say this is a tryout

Just a wild deuce

Cause I’m getting better all the time

Pretty soon these little ducks

Are gonna stand in line

It’s going to take a mess of mistakes to get off

And I can’t afford to trip on my sword or get lost

It’s going to take a mess of mistakes
