The Perfect Song (2021 Remaster)

[Verse 1]

Ten years older than I was

When I brought you down to see

What I thought would make you fall in love

Where an old canal would dream

"Someday, man, I'm gonna be no different than the other rivers"

I tried to look at you but I couldn't break the ice

We stood out there for an hour freezing

You put your hand around my back

I guess you thought I needed that

[Chorus]

I never tried to find you

I hope you don't remember me

But I hope you're not alone

[Verse 2]

You wanted me to take you home

You said you'd rather be alonе

I never thought of that

The car was warm and wе had wine

But I couldn't find the perfect song

Now I own furniture, a 401, and crow's feet

And I can't even remember the car

Sometimes I can feel your weight when I close my eyes

Seven times I was under you

[Chorus]

I never tried to find you

I hope you don't remember me, but I hope you're not alone

And I don't wanna know what you're thinking

I'm looking out the window

Just drinking, drinking, drinking, drinking, drinking

[Bridge]

Shallow frame and shaky sticks, but I know there's a river in me

Shallow-minded adult tricks, but I know there's a river in me

Shallow frame and shaky sticks, but I know there's a river in me

[Chorus]

I never tried to find you

I hope you don't remember me, but I hope you're not alone

And I don't wanna know what you're thinking

I'm looking out the window just sitting there

Sitting down and fucking drinking
