Imperfection

(album: Stages Of The Sun - 2006)

Rusty water in this place
Cupboards filled with empty space
Withered flowers in a vase
Pimples on a pretty face

Grass that's gone to seed
And bracelets with broken beads
Gardens filled with weeds
And books that no one reads

The imperfection of this life
It's what makes us perfectly alright
Without your every little flaw
You wouldn't mean anything to me at all

Broken promise to a friend
Nothing in your heart to lend
Stubborn so you never bend
Fearful so you just pretend

Smile with crooked teeth
Song with broken beat
Sun with burning heat
And secrets that no one keeps

The imperfection of this life
It's what makes us perfectly alright
Without your every little flaw
You wouldn't mean anything to me at all

The imperfection of this life
It's what makes us perfectly alright
Without your every little flaw
You wouldn't mean anything to me at all

Rusty water in this place
Cupboards filled with empty space
Withered flowers in a vase
World that needs a bit more grace
