Verse 1:
I’m a red kettle water on a boil
Just before the whistling
The ground exhausted and toiled
The back of my neck glistening
I don’t have anything left, but
You always takes me like that
Verse 2:
I’m a wrung rag on the line
A burning lamp on the stand
A hooked fish tired from the fight
The farmers cracked and callused hands
I don’t have anything left, but
She always takes me like that
Verse 3:
I’m the wet branch of a tree
Waiting once again to bear
The cloth of a summers breeze
A hope that someone still cares
I don’t have anything left
You always take me like that
Outro:
What is love if not a mess
What is love if not a mess
What is love if not a mess
That’s how you know it’s real
