lyrics

Come light a candle
Tell me a story
About those dreamers long ago
They’d kick their shoes off
Float down the river
Hoping that they’d eventually make it home

CHORUS
Why are you waiting?
Stage lights are fading
Are you still in doubt?
I thought we’d whited that out
I swear we’ll figure this out
Somehow

No, not a message
Go write a letter
In which you pour out all your heart
I’ll take the back roads
You’ll choose the freeway
Knowing that we’ll eventually make it home

CHORUS
Why are we waiting?
Stage lights are fading
Are you still in doubt?
I thought we’d whited that out
I swear we’ll figure it out
No doubt

You count down time like it might save your life
But it’s already perfect, perfect you’ll find
Look inside through those tears in your eyes
And you’re already perfect, perfect in my mind

It ain’t what you see on HGTV
But it’s already perfect, perfect you see
Today might rain but it won’t stop this flame
Cause you’re already perfect, perfect for me

We started out slow, and broke, don’t you know
We’ve been making it perfect, poco a poco
Our roses are small but they’ll grow to be tall
And they’re already perfect now
Already perfect
Already perfect now
