Lyrics
Lord knows, you’re not perfect
You’re as flawed as I am
But still we dance around in self-defense
All night long
About who’s the perfect one
Come the rising sun
We just agree to disagree
And just go on
But I remember the very moment I first saw your smiling face
And your perfect light down on me did shine
And you saved me
Yes you saved me
Like an accidental angel grounded by a broken wing
Who stumbled on a dying man on a dark forsaken road
Into your heart big as the sky where you could no longer fly
You took me in
Yes I remember when
You saved me
You tried so many ways to bandage up your wounds
And I’d wasted so many days just licking mine
