A Perfect Mess - Mike Posner

So whats a young man to do

Had a million in the bank when I turned 22. Alright.

It might’ve saved me

Doing impressions of myself so people say it hasn’t changed me.

If only that were true now.

But ain’t a artist in the game that can do what

I do.

I ain’t your little secret no more.

But listen real close, and I give you

One more.

See all of these American dreams, that I find myself living out.

Mixed with all of these man-made woman that I find myself digging out.

They tell me all day long to get a bodyguard to help myself get around.

But I ain’t ever been afraid of people getting inside, I’m more afraid of

What I got on the inside, getting out.

And what was left.

A perfect mess.

And if we forget.

A perfect mess.

And what was left.

A perfect mess.

That we forget.

Been a while since 09 remember when I told you it was it was a matter of time

Did you believe me?

Did it take this long?

I told Sean if I ever got on that I’d never ever buy a chain with ice.

And I didn’t.

Before this all changed my life, from dreams in the dorm room to doing big

things

In the boardroom.

See all of these non-American bottles that I find myself sipping out.

Mixed with all of the things Imma have to relearn and one day live without.

Mixed all of the things inside my head that I can’t figure out.

But I ain’t ever been afraid of people seeing inside, I’m more afraid of

What I got on the inside, getting out.

And what was left.

A perfect mess.

And if we forget.

A perfect mess.

And what was left.

A perfect mess.

That we forget.
