Lyrics

[Verse 1] Wasn't tryin' to meet nobody, see nobody What I've got goin' on's a lot for somebody To deal with 'cause the deal is I'm still sweepin' up the pieces I was just lookin' for a lighter and a smoke You were lookin' too, tryin' to get to know My name, where I'm from, what I'm thinkin' So if you wanna be more than a weekend [Chorus] Please excuse the mess I know I'm a little bit everywhere There's a hell of a fire in my chest That ain't been put out, but I'm gettin' there I know I should clean up my act, clean up my mind So watch your step if you're steppin' inside Ain't cared enough to pick it up yet, so until then Please excuse the mess [Verse 2] Most people try to seem perfect, smile on the surface But the wine and the want-to both ain't workin' I apologize for the wreck you might find, might need a little time [Chorus] Please excuse the mess I know I'm a little bit everywhere There's a hell of a fire in my chest That ain't been put out, but I'm gettin' there I know I should clean up my act, clean up my mind So watch your step if you're steppin' inside Ain't cared enough to pick it up yet, so until then Please excuse the mess [Post-Chorus] Ooh, yeah [Bridge] I was just lookin' for a lighter and a smoke You were lookin' too, tryin' to get to know My name, where I'm from, what I'm thinkin' So if you wanna be more than a weekend [Chorus] Please excuse the mess I know I'm a little bit everywhere There's a hell of a fire in my chest That ain't been put out, but I'm gettin' there I know I should clean up my act, clean up my mind So watch your step if you're steppin' inside Ain't cared enough to pick it up yet, so until then Please excuse the mess [Post-Chorus] Oh, please excuse the mess Please excuse the mess, yeah Please excuse the mess
