Lyrics:

in a dream that I cant seem to shake she is,
she is standing alone by the fence
I see tears in her eyes. why she cries
I just dont know what a mess that I make of my days
then theres you,your a mess to be made
and the dream starts to fade away

so youre leaving for months at a time
I help you out the door
but once your gone
I just stare out the window
Please could you please come back home

What a mess that I make of my days trying to save myself (save myself)
then theres you your a mess to be made
a canvas only paint could change

and a voice on the other end of the phone says
why dont you write a song about it well here it goes
I was raised on someting that youll never know
id hate this place if it weren't for the waves
if it werent fo r the fact that you love it
where they measure a man on the money
he spends well my love is not a bank statement

what a mess that I make of my days trying to save myself (save myself)
then theres you you're a mess to be made
a mess to be made
a mess to be made
and the dream starts to fade away.
