A Less than Perfect Peach

from A Less than Perfect Peach by Blue Genes

lyrics

my father once said son take care yourself, yet have fun
a gem forged from our timeless bond, a drop on a pond
a lesson hard learned in between all the twists n turns
cuz we've all got holes to hide, no one wants to show their true soul

n in a less than perfect peach i learned that perfection is forever out of reach
yet there are perfect moments that glisten in the seafoam between all we see and the sandy beach

so take what's within your grasp and clasp it in your hand
for to each his own, n for me, i lack love, that golden treasure trove
n i been digging for all those X's n O's
cuz growing old is the oldest story ever told n i hope i'm not to bold to try and teach

that in a less than perfect peach i learned that perfection is forever out of reach
yet there are perfect moments that glimmer in the seafoam between all we see and the sandy beach

o n i know now where i hurt, deep down in the depths of my heart
cuz it shattered into a millions little parts n i'm searchin for them in the dark
cuz i've been so alone it's just me n my bones and their groans
o but i made a home in my head by hollowing out all that dead space

yet in a less that perfect peach i learned that perfection is forever out of reach
yet there are perfect moments that shimmer in the seafoam between all we see and the sandy beach

n i keep wishfully thinking that maybe one day i'm gunna find that keepsake face
cuz i run n run in this rat race from place to place
o n i've just about lost faith in it all, in it all
but call my bluff i really don't care at all, at all

cuz in a less than perfect peach i learned that perfection is forever out of reach
yet there are perfect moments that simmer in the seafoam between all we see and the sandy beach

so i wanton away my days cuz i'm fishin in a wishing well
n like rope i cast down my hopes, they're just another noose to hang my time by
o and i try and try to sort out all these lies
these lies that leeched the life from my once perfect peach

o but i gotcha
yeah i caughtcha
that perfect moment
in the seafoam
yeah i caughtcha
yeah i gotcha
n i'm not gunna let this one rot
cuz i finally
yeah i finally
gotcha
