Verse 1
For the longest time I thought I'd lost the best of me
But I'll be damned if I quit now and that's for sure
All I ever wanted was for you to look at me
And know I'm all yours
Like the penguins need their wings for deep cold water dives
Like the earth needs the moon to keep it on course
When you touch me
I know there is purpose in my life
Just know I'm all yours
Chorus
I'm a mess,
I confess that I'm nothing without you
And there is nothing I can do to prove to you I'm being honest
Now I see, everything and yes I've known it all along
I was so lost, but I'm back and I finally know now where my heart belongs

Verse 2
I've been wondering if you could ever realize
That we're growing up so fast, and it's insane
My dear our hearts have gotten good at pumping cheap new lust
Into our young veins
Suddenly I understand everything I couldn't comprehend
Chorus
I'm a mess,
I confess that I'm nothing without you
And there is nothing I can do to prove to you I'm being honest
Now I see, everything and yes I've known it all along
I was so lost, but I'm back and I finally know now where my heart belongs
Bridge
All this time I've spent without you by my side,
I dreamt about you
Saw you through the windows in my mind
Carved a home for you deep down inside my chest
And I never want to lose such a big part of me again
... lose such a big part of me again
Chorus
I'm a mess,
I confess that I'm nothing without you
And there is nothing I can do to prove to you I'm being honest
Now I see, everything; and yes I've known it all along
I was so lost, but I'm back and I finally know now where my heart belongs
