Today's Mess Was Yesterday's Love Bed
I wonder what it’d be like
If I could be someone different
I wonder what I’d be like
If I didn’t have to be me
I bet it’d be a different version
Of exactly right now
And all of this thinking
Wouldn’t matter anyhow
I’d still feel what I’m feeling
And thinks would end up the same
And I don’t care
How pretty your songs are
And I don’t care
How lovely your hands are
Cause today’s mess
Was yesterday’s Love Bed
Today’s mess
Was yesterday’s Love Bed
I’ll remember that night
And how you left me
Trying and trying to leave
Trying to hold back tears in my eyes
The picture of you
You standing there
With your hands in your pockets
Shrugging your shoulders at me
I should have just walked away
But my feet wouldn’t behave
And I’ll be honest there was that part of me, that part of me hoping that you’d ask me to stay, and you’d say, “Wait, I’ve changed my mind, I was wrong. I still want you. I’ll miss you too much, I’ll miss your stories and your jokes and how pretty you are…
(This is my dream, I can say what I please)
and you’d say, “no, don’t leave.”
But yeah, you just shrugged
You shrugged your shoulders at me
I mouth wouldn’t work
It ran faster than my brain could think
And I said all those things
I’ve come to regret
I’ve said all those things
I can’t take back.
I wonder what it’d be like
If I could be someone different
I wonder what I’d be like
If I didn’t have to be me
I bet it’d be a different version
Of exactly right now
And all of this thinking
Wouldn’t matter anyhow
I’d still feel what I’m feeling
And thinks would end up the same
And I don’t care
How pretty your songs are
And I don’t care
How lovely your hands are
Cause today’s mess
Was yesterday’s Love Bed
Today’s mess
Was yesterday’s Love Bed
