Take My Hand
Make A Mess Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need some help here
Just need to know where
I belong
My number's getting higher
And my bank can't get much lighter
And my throat is getting tighter
My hands are always shaking
My body's always aching
When I wake, I get so angry
About things
How much life must I miss here
Before the road gets clear
My mind just starts to wonder
About me

COMPLETE MESS Lyrics
[Verse 1: Luke]
Caught up in Heaven, but your Heaven ain't the same
And I’ve never been a saint, have I?
This evanescence always fleeting like a flame
But I'm never one to change, am I?
[Pre-Chorus: Luke]
Call it a lesson when I feel you slide away
And I'm missin’ out on half my life
[Chorus: All]
Oh, you make me complete
You make me complete
You make me a complete mess
Oh, you make me complete
You make me complete
You make me a complete mess
[Verse 2: Calum & Michael]
Hang on to moments like they'll never drift away
'Cause you'll never get to say goodbye
I ask no questions as your colours take their hold
As my darkness turns to gold inside
[Pre-Chorus: Calum & Michael]
I learned my lesson when I felt you slip away
And I'm missing out on half my life
[Chorus: All]
Oh, you make me complete
You make me complete
You make me a complete mess
Oh, you make me complete
You make me complete
You make me a complete mess
[Bridge: Luke]
(You make me a complete mess)
(You make me a complete mess)
[Breakdown: Michael]
Caught up in Heaven, but your Heaven ain't the same
But I've never been a saint, have I?
[Chorus: All]
Oh, you make me complete
You make me complete (You make me complete)
You make me a complete mess (Oh)
Oh, you make me complete (You make me complete)
You make me complete (You make me complete)
You make me a complete mess
