Takes

Lyrics

[verse]

Lost my job before the coffee got cold

Landlord called about the rent I owe

Car wouldn't start, phone died at noon

Figured this day couldn't end too soon

But somehow standing on this cracked-up porch

I started laughing like I lit a torch

[chorus]

This afternoon's gone straight to hell

But somehow I'm still standing, still doing well

Nothing left to lose, so nothing left to fear

Gonna crank the tunes and let the bad luck disappear

This afternoon might be a mess

But I'll take the mess over nothing, I confess

[verse]

Called my buddies, told them come on through

Bring whatever's left and we'll make do

Turned the static into something loud

Turned the wreckage into a backyard crowd

Sometimes the worst day writes the best story

Sometimes falling down is just part of the glory

[chorus]

This afternoon's gone straight to hell

But somehow I'm still standing, still doing well

Nothing left to lose, so nothing left to fear

Gonna crank the tunes and let the bad luck disappear

This afternoon might be a mess

But I'll take the mess over nothing, I confess

[bridge]

Tomorrow's got its own plans for me

But right now I'm just trying to be free

Laughing at the wreckage, dancing in the wreck

Might as well enjoy the mess

[chorus]

This afternoon's gone straight to hell

But somehow I'm still standing, still doing well

Nothing left to lose, so nothing left to fear

Gonna crank the tunes and let the bad luck disappear

This afternoon might be a mess

But I'll take the mess over nothing, I confess
