Perfect Little Mess

for a moment i’m on top
in a second i am longing
we’ve gone a short way to turn back
come back

sunset, name the drink and place
lose your way and travel northward
i’m on target to beach one
sundown

curse the twilight
fire’s gone
we bring it back with guitars and our songs
i spent the night beside you
i’m so happy to be two
a perfect little mess

masters craft a world in art
lovers craft a world with loving
and we work with what we’ve got
not not

curse the twilight
fire’s gone
we bring it back with guitars and our songs
i spent the night beside you
i’m so happy to be two
a perfect little mess

and you love it to be perfect
but you know life has no guarantees
i like the messy things…
the age displayed on your skin
i like the way we get there when we simply try to love

curse the twilight
fire’s gone
we bring it back with guitars and our songs
i spent the night beside you
i’m so happy to be two
a perfect little mess

can you dream a world with me?
with no fixing and no hope for
anything less than our love

curse the twilight
fire’s gone
we bring it back with guitars and our songs
i spent the night beside you
i’m so happy to be two
a perfect little mess
