Lyrics

I stubbed my toe and then I bit my tongue
I keep bumping heads with almost everyone
Time is right to whine and hide.
I got twenty-five things that I wanna say, but I got a paralyzed mouth from an over-worked brain
I wanna get up and go
I'm gonna self-implode

I had a little time with my head up high and the wind at my back
Now I'm getting all uptight, someone turned out the light and my sail went slack

Why's it gotta be this hard?
I've been thinking maybe, lately,
I would rather count my scars
than just stop complaining
this is my first step: love the mess

So I'll take my time in between the grind, even if I hate my job I think I'll be just fine
Seconds pass, nothing ever lasts
Sit up straight, I give me great advice, well I'll pep talk my way through another long night, but there's something real in the hurt I feel

Love the Mess
Trust and guess
Take deep breaths

Cause it doesn't have to be this hard and I've been thinking maybe, lately
I would rather count my scars than just stop complaining
this is my first step: love the mess
