messed up

capo 2

How could I misread those signs?
I needed to turn left and all I ever did was turn right.
I left you somewhere behind,
As I was chasing paper trails that only ever lived in my mind.
I know I’ll probably be fine,
But sometimes I wish instead of play that I could just hit rewind.
I could have saved you some time,
Instead I talked in circles and I left us both asking why.

Now late at night I pull you back,
Hold you close and fade to black.
Every time you draw me in,
I can’t help wondering,
If maybe I messed up.
Maybe I’m messed up,
Baby I messed up.
Isn't this messed up?

I didn’t ask you to stay,
And you walked out into the rain and let me take the easy way.
Woke up again today,
Still living with decisions that I wish that I could wish away.
I have you set on replay,
Laughing in the kitchen, and that black dress with the cutaway.
I’ve never been one to pray,
But I was closest in those moments when I couldn’t take my eyes away

Now late at night I pull you back,
Hold you close and fade to black.
Every time you draw me in,
I can’t help wondering,
If maybe I messed up.
Maybe I’m messed up,
Baby I messed up.
Isn't this messed up?
