1
[Verse 1]
2
I've got bruises on my body, scratches on my face
3
Cookie crumbs, empty bottles all over my place
4
And my bathroom mirror seemed to lose its shine
5
When you leave you always leave a little mess behind
6
When you leave you always leave a little mess
7
[Verse 2]
8
Oh, I am cleaning out my cupboards, dusting off my frames
9
Scrubbed my mouth with soap so I can't whisper your name
10
Sweeping 'round in circles, trying to get you off my mind
11
When you leave you always leave a little mess behind
12
When you leave you always leave a little mess
13
[Chorus]
14
Your cigarette smell, broke leather jacket taste
15
It lingers in the air right in front of my face
16
You're like a bar marker star stamp I can't scrub off
17
You're like a tattered ankle bracelet I can't seem to unknot
18
And if you wanna come around I'm caught
19
[Verse 3]
20
It's so early in the morning, so late at night
21
When you pull my hair and start a little play-fight
22
We are kissing in dark corners at my parents' floor
23
The kind of love that makes my knees and elbows sore
24
The kind of love that makes me just want more
25
[Chorus]
26
Your cigarette smell, broke leather jacket taste
27
It lingers in the air and it stays all day
28
I've got a blue stained t-shirt, my scratches bleed
29
I'm sure everyone on the subway can see
30
You make a mess, you make a mess of me
31
[Verse 4]
32
I am usually so clean, baby, usually so sharp
33
But you always come around when I'm about to fall apart
34
I'm like a fragile house of cards, you're that small gust of wind
35
Sweep by, quite the surprise I'm on the floor again
36
[Chorus]
37
Your cigarette smell, broke leather jacket taste
38
It lingers in the air and it never goes away
39
You're like a bar marker star stamp I can't scrub off
40
You're like a tattered ankle bracelet I don't wanna unknot
41
And if you wanna come around I'm caught
42
And if you wanna get me down I'm got
43
And if you wanna know how much it's a lot
44
Come over, come over, are we both in town
45
Come over, come over 'cause I want you around
46
I want you, I want you to rip up my dress
47
I want you, I want you to make me a mess
