Jake Newton: lyrics

I'm a Mess

(Jake Newton)
August 18, 2009
You drove your car into the city
I saw you screaming out loud
Where is my love in all this madness
In misery’s shroud

Here I am, Here I am
Right behind you in doorways unlit
Here I am, Here I am
But you’re too scared to death to admit it

But then you ducked into a doorway,
The sign above beckoned you in
To bury all your worry
With a shovel made of Gin

Here I am, Here I am
Right behind you in doorways unlit
Here I am, Here I am
But you’re too scared to death to admit it

You get so tired at these parties, (Just want to get out of here)
Where everyone just acts the same (Baby I know)
Sit there in your corner ( I gotta Get out of here)
And wonder why you even came (There’s nowhere to go)

Here I am, Here I am
Right behind you in doorways unlit
Here I am, Here I am
But you’re too scared to death to admit it

Now we could make holes in the night
I’ll be at your house at twilight
And when we’re done they’ll be no one left to fight
No one left to fight

A mess I tell you a mess I tell you
I’m a mess I tell you, a mess I tell you
