“Come On Mess Me Up” is the fourth track on Cub Sport’s first full-length album, “This Is Our Vice”, release in 2016. The front man of the band, Tim Nelson, tells us a little about this song specifically;
The song is about me wanting to do music even though it can mess you up along the way. It’s me...
[Verse 1]
We were walking on Sparkes Street, growing up real fast
I left it behind pretty quickly
Still the farthest thing from pretty
I found comfort
I fell in love with avoiding problems
[Verse 2]
We were riding on Smith Street, we were right on track
I left it behind without sinking

One of the ones you say you won't forget
'Cause I want this, you know I want this
So come on, mess me up
[Verse 3]

And you can break me, if you'll still take me
Ruin me, if you'll let me be
One of the ones you say you won't forget
'Cause I want this, you know I want this
So come on, mess me up
[Outro]
'Cause I want this, you know I want this
So come on, mess me up
