Name: Messed It Up
Duration: P00H03M21S
Description: Messed It Up tells the universal story of how life can constrict and complicate us - it is that yearning for the freedom of childhood. I have this very clear memory of playing in my best friend’s stream, spending hours with our rubber boots and just being in the moment. It asks the question, “how do I get back” to that place.

Messed It Up tells the universal story of how life can constrict and complicate us - it is that yearning for the freedom of childhood.

lyrics

Lately I’ve been feeling
Like I’m losing time
Floating through the day
Like it isn’t even mine
Forgotten what it feels like
To be young
When every moment hits you
Like your life has just begin

But I messed it up so good
How do I get back
How do I get back
Yeah I messed it up so good
How do I get back
But I messed it up so good
How do I get back
How do I get back
Yeah I messed it up so good
How do I get back

I’ve been thinking about
The stream behind your place
Where we used to catch crayfish
The thrill of the chase
Lost in the forest
Playing hide and seek
Nowhere to go
And everywhere to be

But I messed it up so good
How do I get back
How do I get back
Yeah I messed it up so good
How do I get back
But I messed it up so good
How do I get back
How do I get back
Yeah I messed it up so good
How do I get back
