The Perfect Love Song

the perfect love songs
are never sung
they're spoken through this feeling

cuz the perfect loves are never won
a horizon always receding

and its fleeting misleading
and somewhat deceiving
though i never thought id be the one who was leaving
and the picture show behind my eyes keeps me believing
someday she'll be the one

hang out your laundry to sweat in the sun
your baggage is fulling unpacked
put up your billboards and lace up your shoes
it seems to be that I'm back on the track

and i know you'd be lying
if you said you were flying
but that doesn't mean
you should waste your days crying
thinking about the knot we'll never be tying

you just needed some room
now you think you're marooned
a vessel unworthy
put yourself in my shoes
consider my friendship
will always be true

and if you cant take that for what it's worth
pretend its a treasure chest buried deep in the earth
that way one day you can dig it up and see
just how much closer we could be
to the perfect love song

its fleeting
misleading
deceiving
with good reason
someday she'll be the one
