Happy Mess

(album: Sad Clown Bad Spring #12 - 2008)

Remember that time that I made you so mad
Last week right ha ha you know that
It's not like it's all that rare
So put it here and let me cherish the embarrassment

I realize I've been a dickhead yes
And I respect how you question your investments
I take the blame but it ain't to be impressive
It feels like a cop out to label it lessons

I've been though the rain
But I've put other people through a hurricane
Just to work the game
Sometimes I swim through so much shame
I think my little man's blessed that he didn't get my last name

And here you are right in front of me
Offering it all like tell me what you want from me
I wanna love you today and forever
Let me clear my throat and rub my wings together

It goes: I'm not perfect but I'm this that and this
My hands are dirty and I'm this that and this
You've been searching for this that and this
Let's break the surface and make a little happy mess

I'm not perfect but I'm this that and this
My hands are dirty and I'm this that and this
You've been searching for this that and this
Let's break the surface and make a little happy mess

Woo girl, you're the most beautiful thing I've seen
Enticing, exciting
Even the sound of your voice gotta nice ring
You seem like the type that might help me tighten up my pipe dreams

We can keep digging through this dirt
We team up, you and I against the universe
Think about it. What you say to yourself?
You can wear my cape and I can play with your belt

The truth is there now
Stand here with me, look into that mirror now
And tell me you don't see the same image
Gonna be a brand name day once the rain is finished

It goes: I'm not perfect but I'm this that and this
My hands are dirty and I'm this that and this
You've been searching for this that and this
Let's break the surface and make a little happy mess

I'm not perfect but I'm this that and this
My hands are dirty and I'm this that and this
You've been searching for this that and this
Let's break the surface and make a little happy mess

I can't believe she got me on a ball and chain
It's not a complaint
I appreciate it
For all the dumb mistakes I make
I'm surprised baby girl ain't threw me away

I never meant to hurt no one
I just want to stay productive 'til the work is done
I dance to a certain drum
But when I fell off beat you didn't turn and run
No

You see me at my lowest moments
You gave me sight when I had broken focus
With a smile that opens up like a rose does
Even when it all felt so fucking hopeless

And here you are, right in front of me
Offering it all like "Tell me what you want from me"
I want to thank you today and forever
Let's make a little happy mess together
You know

It goes: I'm not perfect but I'm this that and this
My hands are dirty and I'm this that and this
You've been searching for this that and this
Let's break the surface and make a little happy mess

I'm not perfect but I'm this that and this
My hands are dirty and I'm this that and this
You've been searching for this that and this
Let's break the surface and make a little happy mess

Right now come on
Let's break upstairs
Right now come on
