An Ever - Fixed Mark

The picture that we took
With that old five-dollar camera
Hasn't once left my mirror-frame
On the bottom strip, next to 8-15-06, I quoted myself
"What we have is the kind of love they make movies about"
Not every line I ever wrote in every song was true
But that one was
And this is, too

When I am lost, yours is the light that guides me home
The closest thing this side of Heaven to a picture of God's love
My voice always sounds better when you sing along with it
You make me better, you make me worth it
If you aren't perfect then I don't know or care what perfect is

You are the needle and the thread
That knits together all my hours and days
You keep me whole
If I've ever written, spoken, thought, or sung
Anything true about love
It was about you
I have no other honest muse

When I am lost, yours is the light that guides me home
The closest thing this side of Heaven to a picture of God's love
My voice always sounds better when you sing along with it
You make me better, you make me worth it
If you aren't perfect then I don't know or care what perfect is

When I am lost, yours is the light that guides me home
The closest thing this side of Heaven to a picture of God's love
My voice always sounds better when you sing along with it
You make me better, you make me worth it
If you aren't perfect, then no one is
If you're not perfect then I don't know what perfect is
