Perfect (feat. theMIND)

I ain’t perfect

And you ain’t either

So blindfold the pilot

And plot a course for Egypt

If the plane is dippin’

And the fuel is leakin’

We can land on water

But where’s the fun in sinkin’?

‘Cause you say I’m so self-destructive,

And I say “here’s a parachute,

If you wanna fly then spread your wings”, she said

“That’s all I ever wanted you to do”

I know

But if it’s gonna crash and burn,

Let’s at least enjoy the flames

She said burn baby, burn

If it’s going down in a blaze

Let’s at least enjoy the way down

Burn baby burn

Burn baby burn

Mayday!

I left you hangin’ with the sky in a blaze

And now the heat is dripping down off my candle wings

I know I didn’t always give you the best of me

But your friends still think I’m sweeter than that cherry in your Shirley T

The second time we ate at Ruby Tue’ on her birthday, she dropped the news on me

She told me that wanna go and see other people,

I said, “what type of movie is that?

I mean, that’s what it better be

I know the dinner was last minute, forgot that they don’t serve your favorite recipe

But bear with me, it’s only ‘cause I’m chasin’ my dreams”

She cried, “you clearly think about that more than you think of me

That’s why I think we need some space and time to grow independent

And maybe it could work at another place in time

But until then we just wastin’ time”

I tried to argue but I couldn’t make her change her mind

She told me that she can’t see the end of her

And I don’t know where I begin

Will we nosedive in the ocean because I won’t open or bend?

Well I pray to God, I hope I can

‘Cause you said I’m so self-destructive

And I said, “what the fuck you want me to do?

If you wanna fly then spread your wings”, she said

“All I’m tryna give you is a parachute”

But if it’s gonna crash and burn

Let’s at least enjoy the flames

She said burn baby, burn

If it’s going down in a blaze

Let’s at least enjoy the way down

Burn baby, burn

Burn baby, burn
