The perfect love songs are never sung
They are spoken through feeling
Because the perfect loves are never won
A horizon always receding

It's fleeting misleading and somewhat deceiving
Though I'd never thought I'd be the one who was leaving
And at night the show behind my eyes keeps me dreaming
That someday she'll be the one

Hang out your laundry to sweat in the sun
Your baggage fully unpacked
Toss up some billboards and lace up my shoes
It seems to be that I'm back on the tack

I know you'd be lying if you said you were flying
But that doesn't mean that you should waste you days crying
Thinking about the knot we'll never be tieing

You just needed some room now you think you're marooned
A vessel unworthy put your self in my shoes
Consider my friendship will always be true

So if you can't take it for what it's worth
Pretend is a treasure chest buried deep in the earth
That way one day you'll dig it up and see
How much closer we could be
