Lyrics

Messy

Trying to make the shapes You're dying to see Always kept it tidy Never really known the Right shape to be It goes, if you let it It's okay to regret it I'm on your side No need to be ready It's okay if it's messy I'm on your side Sometimes, I dream of driving And double yellow lining And hitting 71 down the M25 Ignoring that noisy backseat driver And it goes, you can let it It's okay to regret it I'm on your side No need to be ready It's okay if it's messy I'm on your side It's a little bit Messy It's a little bit Messy Little, little I'm a little bit Messy I'm a little bit Messy I'm a little bit
