Perfect Once

[Verse 1]
I didn't throw our pictures out
They're  under my bed inside a tin
I  figured if I wait it out
Maybe one day we'll try again

[Chorus]
'Cause I hate the thought of permanence
Of  throwing out any evidence
That  you and I were perfect once
All of our dreams and future plans
Are  now memories built on the sand
But you and I were perfect once

[Verse 2]
I'll never know if this made sense
Untethering your heart from mine
Replacing  a garden with a fence
And building a road through paradise

[Chorus]
'Cause I hate the thought of permanence
Of throwing out any evidence
That you and I were perfect once
All of our dreams and future plans
Are now memories built on the sand
But you and I were perfect once

[Bridge]
Is there more to this than meets the eye? I'll never know
Would it have been okay if I'd tried not let you go?

[Chorus]
'Cause I hate the thought of permanence
Of throwing out any evidence
That you and I were perfect once
All of our dreams and future plans
Are now memories built on the sand
But you and I were perfect once

[Outro]
Is there more to this than meets the eye? I'll never know
Would it have been okay if I'd tried not let you go?
