The Mess Inside – Amanda Palmer (originally by The Mountain Goats)

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
And I wanted you To love me like you used to do
We took two weeks in the Bahamas Went out dancing every night We tried to fight the creeping sense of dread with temporal things Most of the time I guess I felt alright
But I wanted you To love me like you used to do
But you cannot run And you cannot hide From the wreck we’ve made of our house From the mess inside
We went down to New Orleans One weekend in the spring We looked hard for what we’d lost It was painful to admit it but we couldn’t find a thing
And I wanted you To love me like you used to do I wanted you To love me like you used to do
We went to New York City in September We took the train out of Manhattan to the Grand Army stop And we 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
And I wanted you To love me like you used to do I wanted you To love me like you used to do
But I cannot run And I cannot hide From the wreck we’ve made of our house From the mess inside But I cannot run And I cannot hide From the wreck we’ve made of our house From the mess inside
