Do-do-do-do-don’t you
Wanna get through the night
Something said for sleeping
Instead you choose to fight

And I’m catching the chill off this windowpane
Pelted left and right with your acid rain
It’s going to take a mess of mistakes to get off
And I can’t afford to trip on my sword or get lost

Someone’s in the doghouse
Show some puppy love
You know it could be our house
In there lies the rub

And you’re annihilated by the smallest thing
Cause secretly all you want to do is sing
It’s going to take a mess of mistakes to get off
And I can’t afford to piss off the Lord anymore

Once again I’m sorry
Something that I said
Now wе’re both exhausted
Wishing wе was dead

The fact there’s life so beautiful makes it worse
When we’re lost to the sun like we’re under a curse
Can I get a timeout
Can I call a truce
Say this is a tryout
Just a wild deuce

Cause I’m getting better all the time
Pretty soon these little ducks are gonna stand in line
It’s going to take a mess of mistakes to get off
And I can’t afford to trip on my sword or get lost

It’s going to take a mess of mistakes
It’s going to take a mess of mistakes
It’s going to take a mess of mistakes
It’s going to take a mess of mistakes
