Vance Joy – Mess Is Mine Lyrics 11 years ago
I believe that the song is about a boy who got a girl (very well could be his girlfriend) pregnant, and he tries to convince her that she should have the baby and not abort it. This is evident in many of the lyrics, specificly the chorus.

"Hold on my darling,
This body is yours, this body is yours and mine."

In this part, he is saying that although the baby is in her body, he should have a say in what happens to it.

"This mess was yours, now this mess is mine"

Here he is saying that although this was a mistake, im here for you and we can do this together.

I think the verses goes more into their relationship and what happened before and after the pregnancy. He still needs her just as much as she need him.
