The Mess We're In - The Kite String Tangle

Come just a little closer

Stay just a little longer

Oh, you know I’d stay forever if I could

You felt the same last night

Your fingers curled around mine

When I leave it never feels like it should

As we’re getting older

Needing one another more

Feeling close enough to

Raise our voice and slam the door

Look at the mess we’ve made, love

Oh, look at the mess we’re in

I know we used to make time

I know that we’ve let this slip

There’s beauty in total breakdown

There’s life behind each shadow

It’s hard to hear right now

But I never will let you go

Count the scars on your psyche

As I press on them lightly

I see myself in different stories from your past

And it feels so familiar

Laying down beside the river

Holding on so tight as if to make this last

As we’re getting older

Needing one another more

Feeling close enough to

Raise our voice and slam the door

Look at the mess we’ve made, love

Oh, look at the mess we’re in

I know we used to make time

I know that we’ve let this slip

There’s beauty in total breakdown

There’s life behind each shadow

It’s hard to hear right now

But I never will let you go

I never will let you go

I never will let you go

Look at the mess we’ve made, love

Oh, look at the mess we’re in

I know we used to make time

I know that we’ve let this slip

There’s beauty in total breakdown

There’s life behind each shadow

It’s hard to hear right now

But I never will let you go
