The Dirt Lyrics by Nervous Dater

Call in the Mess

2021

[Verse 1]
Sentimental and stuck
Only reaching out when you're down on your luck
Telling lies, it's a crutch
It makes your spine crooked and keeps you out of touch
[Chorus]
And I'll let this bring me down
Over my dead body in the dirt
It's all I get, but it's a nice reminder
That lovin' something's always gonna hurt
And I regret all the time I wasted
All the time I spent on you
It's all I get, but it’s just nice to know
That this is what you're always gonna do
[Verse 2]
Can I go much further?
Will I sink or swim, or grow gills and learn to breathe water?
Just a problem starter
Addicted to the drama, don’t know why you even bother
[Chorus]
And I'll let this bring me down
Over my dead body in the dirt
It's all I get, but it's a nice reminder
That lovin' somethin's always gonna hurt
And I regret all the time I wasted
All the time I spent on you
It's all I get, but it’s just nice to know
That this is what you're always gonna do
[Bridge]
The lumps under your carpet
(The lumps under your carpet)
Show the secrets you keep
(Show the secrets you keep)
Know where the bodies are buried
(Know where the bodies are buried)
I know you’re losing sleep
[Chorus]
And I'll let this bring me down
Over my dead body in the dirt
It's all I get, but it's a nice reminder
That lovin' somethin's always gonna hurt
And I regret all the time I wasted
All the time I spent on you
It's all I get, but it’s just nice to know
That this is what you're always gonna do
