Come Back To Our Mess

[Verse 1]
I still park
On the wrong side of town
Where you used to laugh
At my beat-up car breaking down
Your sweater's
On the back of my chair
I tried to throw it out
But it smells like your shampoo and your hair
[Chorus]
Come back to our mess
Come back to our almost
We were two bad plans
That fit like a promise
I know I'm the reason
You had to walk away
But I'd learn every lesson
If you'd turn back and stay
Come back to our mess
I'll love you better this time
[Verse 2]
I replay
All the fights in my head
Every word I chose
When I should've just listened instead
You wanted
A hand that would hold
I gave you excuses
Till the silence between us got cold
[Chorus]
Come back to our mess
Come back to our almost
We were two bad plans
That fit like a promise
I know I'm the reason
You had to walk away
But I'd learn every lesson
If you'd turn back and stay
Come back to our mess
I'll love you better this time
[Bridge]
If you're lying awake
Do you ever see
That first tiny apartment
Your knees on my knees
I can't change what I broke
But I'm changing for real
If you open that door
I'll show you
I'll heal (oh I will)
[Chorus]
Come back to our mess
Come back to our almost
We were two bad plans
That fit like a promise
I know I'm the reason
You had to walk away
But if there's any part of you
That still has my name inside
Come back to our mess
I'll love you better this time
Come back to our mess
I'll love you better this time (this time)

Warm acoustic pop ballad with male vocals; fingerpicked guitar and soft pads under intimate verses, kick and subtle percussion lifting the chorus. Big, aching hook with stacked harmonies and a simple piano doubling the vocal. Bridge strips down to guitar and voice, then final chorus blooms with ad‑libs and a gentle tom swell into a lingering outro., romantic
