Tryna pin in the end
Keep getting numbers wrong
Wish I knew all the maths
To figure out my songs
Haven't seen you in weeks
Bumming the same dive bars
With the prettiest patience
From the street view car
If you're up and down
If you're down and out
I can be your lifeline
You can throw me out
If your love runs dry
I can go without
Pluck my heart from me
And I'm still sleeping sound
They promised us, they would talk
But not a word of you
My perfect blue, oh
You can take me as you are
I'm going down with you
My perfect blue, oh
Waiting for the rapture
In a parking lot
Autumn's coming at you
It won't be too long
You know the waiting kills
Before the hemlock does
Strangers know who's built
To stumble and fall
If you've broken down
If you're rolling out
On your frozen sweat
Your smirking sense of doubt
Feel the world you spill
Printed to teeth you're numb
Leaking smiles from a gasket
Slipped around your tongue
They promised us, they would talk
But not a word of you
My perfect blue, oh
You can take me as you are
I'm going down with you
My perfect blue, oh
I'm afraid I broke a string
So now I must be leaving
It's a shame we couldn't finish this
With some wine, some Sunday evening, oh
I hope you will remember
Or just stay just a Monday more
Don't try this at home
Don't try this at home
I said don't try this at home
