I saw red and i saw black

I pushed the colors back

I am only a man

I've done the best that i can

The beast of vulnerability

Inches evilly towards me

Thumbing an ebook 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 i's

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 & 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 you pay for your mistakes

'Cuz 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 & 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?
