Off a red brick ledge, her feet Her finger in the air tracing defeat A sympathetic voice on speaker phone All the cuts they bleed And she needs stain remover for her sleeves And you try even harder just to make her feel alone Make a mess of me Take what's left from me All the best of me Should I get in the dirt down there with you Or watch you from above and hope that you Know you're taking all the best of me? Burn all the time machines you own 'Cause all that shit we have outgrown But they keep on pulling me back in the same ways You built my shaky ground And then you said, "Hey, stick around" No, fuck your reunions and your birthdays Make a mess of me Take what's left from me All the best of me Should I get in the dirt down there with you Or watch you from above and hope that you Know you're taking all the best of me? Make a mess of me Take what's left from me All the best of me Should I get in the dirt down there with you Or watch you from above and hope that you Know you're taking all the best of me?
