The Only Perfect

She is a Polaroid
Myrtle beach for 2 months
She is a sun bleached umbrella
Who slept in the sand with you once
She is a light packer
A daiquiri and a damn good dancer
She's Grace Kelly with a sunburn
Who knows where she is now

The only perfect lover is the one you never get to know
The one who never wilts in a vase, just stays a grocery store rose
No one can walk on water like the memory of an almost
The only perfect lover is the one you never get to know

You were younger then
Outrunning waves to show off
I swear I can hear your laugh
Mocking how the sea gulls talked
And you took a bunch of pictures
You've lost since then but you don't forget her
Or that snippet that she showed you, who knows who she is now

The only perfect lover is the one you never get to know
The one who never wilts in a vase, just stays a grocery store rose
No one can walk on water like the memory of an almost
The only perfect lover is the one you never get to know

When you look at me
Do you see dishes in the sink
Do you see couples therapy and a long, long road
When you look at me
Do you see a promise
God forbid some what ifs
And a long, long road

The only perfect lover is the one you never get to know
The one who never wilts in a vase, just stays a grocery store rose
No one can walk on water like the memory of an almost
The only perfect lover is the one you never get to know
