“We don't mean to mess things up,
But mess them up we do.”
Everything About It Is a Love Song
Song lyrics, Surprise (2006)
Context: We don't mean to mess things up,
But mess them up we do.
And then it's "Oh, I'm sorry."
Here's a smiling photograph
Of love when it was new.
At a birthday party.
Make a wish and close your eyes:
Surprise, surprise, surprise.
“Do I look like a mess?” she asked.
He nodded. “But you’re my mess,” he whispered.”
