Imperfectly Still Lyrics

Jake and Jill

Hiked up that hill

Where they sat and stared

Imperfectly still

They longed to touch

But lacked the skill

With the town below

Imperfectly still

I watched it all

Through my windowsill

Sent them all my prayers

Imperfectly still

Didn't wish them well

Didn't wish them ill

No I just wished they'd stay

Imperfectly still

Try to film or record it

Down here you're never

Gonna capture

How we're all in orbit

Her oxygen's up

His pulse is improving

But I saw their whole movie

Very little was moving

Jake and Jill

Unlocked the thrill

As they bared their scars

Imperfectly still

You know the deal

You know the drill

The ups and downs

The charms and the chills

Shook and shook

My head until

I realized no love's

Loved perfectly still

There's time to birth

And time to kill

And this rock we walk

Imperfectly still

Hold the rails

Paint the portrait

The more you cling to everything

The more you're lost in orbit

It's nice here in your hair

Hope i'm not intruding

But my life flashed before me

We were fixed, we were moving

Jake and Jill

Soon had their fill

Took separate paths

Right back down that hill

And the years marched on

Yeah, as they will

Long may we march along

Imperfectly still
