Imperfect Lover Songtext
von Jay Brannan

I saw red and I saw black
I pushed the colors back
I am only man
I′ve done the best that I can
The beast of vulnerability
Inches evilly towards me
Thumbin' an e-book in the laundromat alone
Hearing the soap ripping shirts from your cologne
I don′t mind you only talk about yourself
I like to hear those eyes
I am a lonely wanderer
You are a holy conjurer
And I wanna take your hand
There is a version of me
Able to love so fearlessly
But you're authoring dramas
And crediting the script to me
We all shake the hand life deals us
Even days it hurts us and odd days heals us
So I'm a mix of jack and joker


Maybe you′ll find the perfect hand to be played imperfectly
Knew so much about myself
Beyond all hope, beyond all help
A funny warrior, I′m not brave, just tall
I need a circle around me that's small
Kick the machine that should pay for your mistakes
′Cause change is all it takes
I am a hopeful traveler
You a highway unraveler
And I wanna be your man
There is a version of me
Able to love so fearlessly
But you're authoring dramas
And crediting the script to me
We all shake the hand life deals us
Even days it hurts us and odd days heals us
So I′m a mix of jack and joker
Maybe you'll find the perfect hand to be played imperfectly
I can never be a perfect lover
I can never, I can never be a perfect lover
I can never be a perfect lover
I can never, I can never be a perfect lover
I can never be a perfect lover
I can never, I can never be a perfect lover
I can never be a perfect lover
I can never, I can never be a perfect lover
I can never be a perfect lover
I can never, I can never be a perfect lover
I can never be a perfect lover
I can never, I can never be a perfect lover
I can never be a perfect lover
Could you ever love such an imperfect lover
I can never be a perfect lover
Could you ever love such an imperfect lover
Could you ever love such an imperfect lover
