Lyrics

[Verse 1]
my boy
come take my hand
throw your guitar and your clothes in the back seat
my love
they don't understand
but i'll hold your hurt in the box here beside me
[PreChorus]
how could we know
we'd rearrange all the cosmos, mmm?
we crashed and we burned
now i just can't go where you don't go
and usually i'm
[Chorus]
fucked up
anxious
too much
but I'll love you like you need me to
imperfect for you
[Chorus]
messy
completely
distressed
but i'm not like that since i met you
imperfect for you
[Verse 2]
let's go tonight
'cause there's just a few seconds left till tomorrow
we have
all that we need
let's leave our baggage and wine at the table
[PreChorus]
mmm, how could we know
that this was a happy disaster, mmm? (happy disaster)
i'm glad we crashed and burned (we crashed and burned)
i'll never forget when you told me
you said, "usually i'm
[Chorus]
fucked up
anxious
too much
but I'll love you like you need me to
imperfect for you
[Chorus]
messy
completely
distressed
but i'm not like that since i met you"
[Bridge]
mmm, how could we know
we'd make the bad stuff delightful, mmm?
i'm glad we crashed and burned
i know we'll be there for each other
when we're feeling
[Chorus]
fucked up
anxious
too much
but I'll love you like you need me to
imperfect for you
[Chorus]
messy
completely
distressed
but i'm not like that since i met you
imperfect for you
[Outro]
Mmm
Mmm
like you need me to
imperfect for you
[Outro]
messy
completely
distressed
not like that since i met you
imperfect for you
