lyrics
It's a fine little trainwreck we've made tonight
But we do this every time
This subtle disaster, the poisoned wire
We've clung to for so long
We thought we could shake this disease by now
But getting older didn't help
The best of us left years ago
and so did the best of me
I used to see my heartbeat in your eyes
Seasons changed the minute you said you were mine
So let's mess things up again
Let's mess things up again
Are you weighing me down
Or am I letting myself sink?
We can't go our own separate ways
but you can forget the look on my face
I used to see my heartbeat in your eyes
Seasons changed the minute you said you were mine
So let's mess things up again
Let's mess things up again
We'll wreck our lives and then
Run around and tell all our friends
So let's mess things up again
Let's mess things up again
Your shadow's made its home in the back of my mind
But I guess that's not your fault
Peace has been made
But this misery's so normal to me
Go to bed breathing fire and wake up crying
We're not even in the same room
Peace has been made
But there's no kind of pressure that can staunch these wounds
I used to see my heartbeat in your eyes
Seasons changed the minute you said you were mine
So let's mess things up again
Let's mess things up again
We'll wreck our lives and then
Run around and tell all our friends
So let's mess things up again
Let's mess things up again
But we do this every time
This subtle disaster, the poisoned wire
We've clung to for so long
We thought we could shake this disease by now
But getting older didn't help
The best of us left years ago
and so did the best of me
I used to see my heartbeat in your eyes
Seasons changed the minute you said you were mine
So let's mess things up again
Let's mess things up again
Are you weighing me down
Or am I letting myself sink?
We can't go our own separate ways
but you can forget the look on my face
I used to see my heartbeat in your eyes
Seasons changed the minute you said you were mine
So let's mess things up again
Let's mess things up again
We'll wreck our lives and then
Run around and tell all our friends
So let's mess things up again
Let's mess things up again
Your shadow's made its home in the back of my mind
But I guess that's not your fault
Peace has been made
But this misery's so normal to me
Go to bed breathing fire and wake up crying
We're not even in the same room
Peace has been made
But there's no kind of pressure that can staunch these wounds
I used to see my heartbeat in your eyes
Seasons changed the minute you said you were mine
So let's mess things up again
Let's mess things up again
We'll wreck our lives and then
Run around and tell all our friends
So let's mess things up again
Let's mess things up again
