about

Hot Mess is about not always having everything perfectly together, and that is perfectly ok! We are all very type A in this band but we still have lyrics in this song that speak to each of us in one way or another. It's one of the best parts about being in a band with your best friends--we all have these moments, and we have learned to ask for help, and lean on each other when we need to. This song is an opportunity to acknowledge (and celebrate) that no matter how much you have it together, nobody's perfect--and that's ok! There’s a good chance that every person can relate to being a “hot mess”, whether it’s all the time or only every now and then.

lyrics

Thirty minutes late, gas tank empty, phone at three percent
Saw the camera flashing, damn light must have been red
Where’d I put my purse again? Sunglasses?
Top down on the rental and it’s raining…
Daddy says I can’t be saved
Mama says I have it made
Bank says I’ve depreciated
I’m just a hot mess, that’s just the way it is!
I call it a success if I get out the house half dressed
Oh I could get my shit together but this is too much fun 
No you can’t get this kind of crazy with just anyone
Hot mess! I’m just a hot mess!

What’s the point in owning when I can just borrow?
Oh, was that today, I swear I thought it was tomorrow
Didn’t lock the door again, just let yourself in 
And if you could feed the cat that would be oh so...

Daddy says I raise some hell
Mama says “apply yourself”
Preacher thinks I need a little help

I’m just a hot mess, that’s just the way it is!
I call it a success if I get out’ the house half dressed
Oh I could get my shit together but this is too much fun 
No you can’t get this kind of crazy with just anyone
Hot mess! I’m just a hot mess!

Thirty minutes late, gas tank empty, phone at three percent
I didn’t see the light was red

I’m just a hot mess, that’s just the way it is!
I call it a success if I get out’ the house half dressed
Oh I could get my shit together but this is too much fun 
No you can’t get this kind of crazy with just anyone
Hot mess! I’m just a hot mess!
