The Mess We’ve Made by Jakob Longfield Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Wide awake, wide awake
Now the nightmare’s gone
Wide awake, wide awake
Waiting for a change to come
Wide awake, will I break?
Looking at the golden sun
Still feeling tired and numb
[Verse 2]
Will I wait, will I wait?
What am I waiting for?
Will I wait, will I wait?
For an open door
Will I wait, will I break?
Is there nothing more?
Still feeling guilty and sore
[Pre-Chorus]
Yes I tried to keep you close to me
Now I think I‘m holding on to a hope not too deep
Well you waste your time with another lie
But with me you know that you’d feel complete
[Chorus]
If this is our future
Is that what it takes?
So, why‘re we still right here
With all our mistakes?
This can’t be the answer
To all that’s at stake
We look at the present
This mess that we’ve made
This mess that we’ve made
[Verse 3]
One mistake, one mistake
All comes crashing down
One mistake, one mistake
All our hopes are drowned
I took the bait now I break
My feet are standing on an unsound ground
Oh my mind is filled with my doubt
[Pre-Chorus]
Yes I tried to keep you close to me
Now I think I‘m holding on to a hope not too deep
Well you waste your time with another lie
But with me you know that you’d feel complete
[Chorus]
If this is our future
Is that what it takes?
So, why‘re we still right here
With all our mistakes?
This can’t be the answer
To all that’s at stake
We look at the present
This mess that we’ve made
This mess that we’ve made
[Bridge]
Can you stay here?
Can you stay, can you stay, can you stay here?
Can you stay here?
Can you stay, can you stay, can you stay here?
Can you stay here?
Can you stay, can you stay, can you stay here?
Can you stay here?
Can you stay, can you stay, can you stay here?
[Chorus]
If this is our future
Is that what it takes?
So, why‘re we still right here
With all our mistakes?
This can’t be the answer
To all that’s at stake
We look at the present
This mess that we’ve made
If this is our future
Is that what it takes?
So, why‘re we still right here
With all our mistakes?
This can’t be the answer
To all that’s at stake
We look at the present
This mess that we’ve made
This mess that we’ve made
[Verse 1]
Wide awake, wide awake
Now the nightmare’s gone
Wide awake, wide awake
Waiting for a change to come
Wide awake, will I break?
Looking at the golden sun
Still feeling tired and numb
[Verse 2]
Will I wait, will I wait?
What am I waiting for?
Will I wait, will I wait?
For an open door
Will I wait, will I break?
Is there nothing more?
Still feeling guilty and sore
[Pre-Chorus]
Yes I tried to keep you close to me
Now I think I‘m holding on to a hope not too deep
Well you waste your time with another lie
But with me you know that you’d feel complete
[Chorus]
If this is our future
Is that what it takes?
So, why‘re we still right here
With all our mistakes?
This can’t be the answer
To all that’s at stake
We look at the present
This mess that we’ve made
This mess that we’ve made
[Verse 3]
One mistake, one mistake
All comes crashing down
One mistake, one mistake
All our hopes are drowned
I took the bait now I break
My feet are standing on an unsound ground
Oh my mind is filled with my doubt

This mess that we’ve made
This mess that we’ve made
[Bridge]
Can you stay here?
Can you stay, can you stay, can you stay here?
Can you stay here?
Can you stay, can you stay, can you stay here?
Can you stay here?
Can you stay, can you stay, can you stay here?
Can you stay here?
Can you stay, can you stay, can you stay here?
[Chorus]
If this is our future
Is that what it takes?
So, why‘re we still right here
With all our mistakes?
This can’t be the answer
To all that’s at stake
We look at the present
This mess that we’ve made
If this is our future
Is that what it takes?
So, why‘re we still right here
With all our mistakes?
This can’t be the answer
To all that’s at stake
We look at the present
This mess that we’ve made
This mess that we’ve made
