Youâre my most imperfect rhyme
Youâre my favorite waste of time
Skin must learn its lines
Youâre my best unforced imperfect rhyme
I am a stranger and a sojourner
Dweller and wanderer
In years of sorrow you will keep
Like you were saved, like youâre asleep
Between the sails and the sheets
In years of sorrow you will sleep
Between the steel and the stone
To years of sorrow we are born
Abel home and Cain the tramp
Fill the fuel and light the lamp
Weâre made of sawdust & stone
Scattered elements of home
The howl of blood in the heat
Beneath the bass and the beat
Between the blood and the bone
If youâre alive then youâre alone
CHORUS
I like you best as a melody, not a harmony
I like you best desperate, not sensibly
I like you best incessantly, incredibly
I like you best next to me, baby
But if weâre the company we keep
I must be stupid and cheap
A songâs a waste of your time
If no-one notices or minds
CHORUS
