A Perfect Mess

Mike Posner

7

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
