lyrics

My imperfect girl; right in front of me;
How could I have ever known? I just didn't see.
I must have looked away at just the perfect time.
You asked me what day it was; I said I was fine.

What a summer, what a heat, when the snow was 50 feet.
You and I would go outside; running, gasping from the tide.
Lying on the overpass you could watch the stars go past.
Even this will never last.

Just the subtle flinch, just the slightest flaw
Will far outweigh the better times in ways you never saw.
At 50 cents a cup in blue and marble Greek,
Take my coffee like my friends, as bitter as they're weak.

Even if you hesitate cause you think it's far too late.
Still, you'ld always have to think I was not your missing link.
Even if you settle down; move into a better town;
You will never settle down.

My imperfect girl, how I know you tried.
Never are you so in love as when the love has died.
My imperfect mate has a silver sting.
Perfect love will far outlast almost anything.
