The Mess Inside

[Verse 1]

We took a weekend, drove to Provo

The snow was white and fluffy

A weekend in Utah won't fix what's wrong with us

The gray sky was vast and real cryptic above me

[Refrain]

I wanted you

To love me like you used to do

[Verse 2]

We took two weeks in the Bahamas

Went out dancing every night

Tried to fight the creeping sense of dread with temporal things

Most of the time I guess I felt alright

[Refrain]

But I wanted you

To love me like you used to do

[Chorus 1]

But you cannot run

And you cannot hide

From the wreck we've made of our house

From the mess inside

[Verse 3]

We went down to New Orleans

One weekend in the spring

Looked hard for what we'd lost

It was painful to admit it but we couldn't find a thing

[Refrain]

I wanted you

To love me like you used to do

[Verse 4]

We went to New York City in September

Took the train out of Manhattan to the Grand Army stop

Found that bench we'd sat together on a thousand years ago

When I felt such love for you I thought my heart was gonna pop

[Refrain]

I wanted you

To love me like you used to do

[Chorus 2]

But I cannot run

And I can't hide

From the wreck we've made of our house

From the mess inside
