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, try to get to know

My name, where I'm from, what I'm thinkin'

So if you wanna be more than a weekend

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

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

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

Ooh, yeah

I was just lookin' for a lighter and a smoke

You were lookin' too, try to get to know

My name, where I'm from, what I'm thinkin'

So if you wanna be more than a weekend

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

Oh, please excuse the mess

Please excuse the mess, yeah

Please excuse the mess
