Far from Perfect

Have we met before or is it just a dream?
Can't forget the smell of your nicotine
You use your hands when you talk
You drag your feet when you walk

Have we met before or is it just a dream?
You look like a picture out a magazine
With your old Cure t-shirt on
And all I wanted was to know your name

It's meaningless, meaningless to expect
Someone like you would ever want me back
Cause even if you look my way,
You're probably looking for another face
Yet here I am practicing what to say

I wish you'd come closer
Or should I just walk over and
Say the first thing that comes to my head
Like can I borrow your lighter for my cigarette?

So what would you expect to see
An average girl just like me
My messy hair, my chipped front teeth
My obviously stellar personality
I've been hurt before it's fucked with my head
And I'm not even sure if I can trust again
What you see is what you get,
I'm obviously far from perfect

I think you might have me confused
With someone that's got it together

My stress and my anxiety
Are changing more than the weather

It's dangerous, dangerous to expect
Someone like you could ever set me back
Even if I tried to stay I'd probably slip back
Into my old ways
And now here I am practicing what to say

I've been waiting for your phone call lately
I'll let it ring through, so I don't have to
Convince myself to feel anything for you today

So what could you possibly see
An awkward guy just like me
The way I act, the way I sing
How I can't take myself seriously
I've been hurt before it's fucked with my head
Now I'm not sure if I can trust again
Cause what you see is what you get
I'm obviously far from perfect

I think there's something I should tell you

Is there something I should know?

I came here with my friends
And now I think it's time to go

It's probably not worth it
Cause you know I'm from out of town
And the next time that I see you
You'll be with somebody else
With somebody else
She kept up with my jokes
She sang me songs that no one knows

All I have are mental pictures
Conversations, facial features

And I might have had too much to drink
But instead of forgetting
I'll just think about you
About you
About you

So what would you expect to see

An awkward guy just like me

My messy hair, my chipped front teeth
My obviously stellar personality

I've been hurt before it's fucked with my head

And I'm not even sure if I can trust again
What you see is what you get
I'm obviously far from perfect
