Mr. Perfect Lyrics

I tried writing about the Summer

I tried washing it out in the rain

I tried looking on the bright side

Counting my blessings

But it turns out the same

I tried moving to the suburbs

Hiding out till you forget my name

I tried looking to the sunrise

Asking the questions but the truth never came

Didn't I

Yeah

Didn't I

Leave every box checked Mr. Perfect

I'm not sure just who there's left to blame

But maybe I'm trying too hard

Yeah maybe it's just me

Or maybe the world's broken yeah there's none left to see

Or maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe

It's a lonely curse

Or maybe the real magic isn't where you look first

25 milligrams of Zoloft

Prescribed by a doctor who called me Jake

When you've run through all the options

Choose lesser evils

Haven't you done the same

Didn't I

Yeah

Didn't I

Leave every box checked Mr. Perfect

I'm not sure just who there's left to blame

But maybe I'm trying too hard

Yeah maybe it's my greed

Or maybe I've exhausted myself swimming upstream

Or maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe it's a lonely curse

Or maybe the real magic isn't where you look first

Where you look first

Where you look first

Where you look first

Where you look first

Didn't I

Yeah

Didn't I

Leave every box checked Mr. Perfect

I'm not sure just who there's left to blame
