I wanna leave you time
plenty of space so that I'm
still amused
when you write

I wanna take it easy on, inner child
break out and bite the hand that holds you down
and take my cues from the horses mouth
I wanna hold, every moment in my own hands,
Feel every breath that i take in
Love you the way that I know I can

But it's impossible
to live in parables
cause we by nature are
imperfect animals

These hips, can carry all your kids
I'll be the perfect mix, of what you have and what you miss
We'll grow some perfect leaves on our braches
Keep steady feet while we're dancing
To set the pace for our grankids

Cause it's impossible
to live in parables
cause we by nature are
imperfect animals
And it defies design
to be a paradigm,
Still I want perfection
as an imperfect animal

Give me pieces to lighten up
When the storm starts
Take up some slack from my heavy heart
and be a perfect counterpart
I'm trying to understand what makes us how we are
Take the hurtin' as a learning part
Imperfection is a perfect place to start

It's impossible
to live in parables
cause we by nature are
imperfect animals

And it defies design
to be a paradigm
still I want perfection

I want perfection
as an imperfect animal
