Lyrics
0:17I'll love an incurable mess 'cause I like to tidy up
0:25No blames and explain-it-aways they are
0:29Pouring from my cup
0:34Rebounds always running me down
0:37Like a lion on the plains
0:42But this fate is its own escape so I
0:46I just stand in place
0:48And now I find I'm waking up at sunrise
0:54And just lying in bed
0:57Giving myself a pep talk
1:01To survive the day lying ahead
1:07My past is a whiskey glass
1:10Tipping down a drunkard's throat
1:14I can't claim I was ever ashamed
1:18When I drank the antidote
1:21And now I find I'm waking up at sunrise
1:27And just lying in bed
1:29Giving myself a pep talk
1:33To survive the day lying ahead
1:38But they make they make no difference
1:42When all of the colors blend into black
1:46And if I raise the stakes and step out
1:50Out on the ledge you gotta pull me back
2:11'Cause they make they make no difference
2:15Feeling the levee starting to crack
2:19And if I raise the stakes and step out
2:23Out on the ledge I'm never coming back
2:27And they make they make no difference
2:31When all of the colors blend into black
2:35And if I raise the stakes and step out
2:39Out on the ledge you gotta pull me back
2:45You gotta pull me back
I'll love an incurable mess 'cause I like to tidy up No blames and explain-it-aways they are Pouring from my cup Rebounds always running me down Like a lion on the plains But this fate is its own escape so I I just stand in place And now I find I'm waking up at sunrise And just lying in bed Giving myself a pep talk To survive the day lying ahead My past is a whiskey glass Tipping down a drunkard's throat I can't claim I was ever ashamed When I drank the antidote And now I find I'm waking up at sunrise And just lying in bed Giving myself a pep talk To survive the day lying ahead But they make they make no difference When all of the colors blend into black And if I raise the stakes and step out Out on the ledge you gotta pull me back 'Cause they make they make no difference Feeling the levee starting to crack And if I raise the stakes and step out Out on the ledge I'm never coming back And they make they make no difference When all of the colors blend into black And if I raise the stakes and step out Out on the ledge you gotta pull me back You gotta pull me back
