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 we're both exhausted
Wishing we 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
