Fine Mess

from Ad Astra by Shevy Smith

lyrics

Will you drive me home its not that far
let me climb inside your car
I'd planned to walk home all the way
but you look like you'd be okay
don't even know who you are
but will you drive me home- its not that far

I dig this chemistry we have
you like my smile, I like your laugh
well this could work out perfectly
I live all by myself you see
you say you like the sound of that
well I dig this chemistry we have

Aren't I just a fine mess, fine mess
maybe you should walk away unless you agree
that we could make a fine mess, fine mess
maybe we could learn to live dangerously

All braided hair and suntan lines
reminds you of a different time
of skinny legs and schoolgirl skirts
and hearts so hip they never hurt
I'm no high school queen but I do just fine
with my braided hair and suntan lines

Aren't I just a fine mess, fine mess
maybe you should walk away unless you agree
that we could make a fine mess, fine mess
maybe we could learn to live dangerously
