about

A Sunday morning hangover reflection of the night before. A confessional realization that the narrator is lucky, and he better straighten up if he wants to remain that way.

lyrics

You’re Perfect and I’m Not (Nick Piunti)

You’re perfect and I’m not.
You put me on the spot.
Been working on my game but I end up just the same
not the way I want.
Throw me a rope and I’ll hang myself out to dry.
Can’t think of a good reason why.
But you stood by this wreck of a train passing by.

You’re perfect and it’s true.
The best of me is you.
I could use all the clichés when you took me from the haze
when you came in from the blue.
Throw me a rope and I’ll hang myself out to dry.
Can’t think of a good reason why.
But you stood by this wreck of a train passing by.

I’ll get better, I swear there ain’t no worse.
I’ll get better, as soon as I break this curse.
I’ll get better, I swear there ain’t no worse.
I’ll get better.
