Mess of Me

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
