I got bruises on my body Scratches on my face Cookie crumbs, empty bottles all over the place And my bathroom mirror seemed to lose its shine When you leave you always seem to leave a little mess behind When you leave you always leave a little mess
Oh I am cleaning out my cupboards Dusting off my frames Scrub myself with soap so I can’t whisper your name Sweeping around in circles Trying to get you off my mind When you leave you always leave a little mess behind When you leave you always leave a little mess
Your cigarette smell and your leather jacket taste It lingers in the air and it never goes away You’re like the black hand stamp that I can’t rub off You’re like a tethered ankle bracelet, that I can’t seem to unknot And if you want to come around then call
It’s so early in the morning or so late at night When you poke my side and start a little play fight We are kissing in dark corners on your mothers floor The kind of love that my sides so sore The kind of love that makes me just want more
Your cigarette smell and your leather jacket taste It lingers in the air, right in front of my face I got a blue stained t-shirt My scratch is bleeding I’m sure everyone is this room can see You make a mess you make a mess of me
Oh I am usually so clean Baby you shouldn’t be so sharp But you always come around when I’m about to fall apart I’m like a fragile house of cards and you’re the one who wins Sweep me up by surprise and I’m on the floor again
Your cigarette smell and your leather jacket taste It lingers in the air and it stays all day You’re like the black hand stamp that I can’t rub off You’re like a tethered ankle bracelet that I don’t want to unknot
And if you want to come around then call And if you wanna get me down, I’m got And if you wanna know what matches a lot Come over come over, were both in town Come over come over, because I want you around I want you I want you, to grab my waist I want you I want you to make, me a mess
