Perfect Mistakes

from Beautiful Mistakes by Scapeghost

/

lyrics

Every time we never met
Another time I thought I glimpsed you
A history filled with regret
Rewritten as a life of fortune

Moments I saw as missteps
Were footprints on the path to find you
Some semblance of how we forget
The book no revised to star you

Characters stripped from the story
In the rear view as if to seem too boring
You take the brush and slap across the page
Vivid new colors

Every town I ever left
Behind a tenement of unwritten stories
Memory, that poor architect
Mixes up the stones from different quarries

The marble of old loves forgotten
The limestone of youth besotted
To the unforgiving granite of my heart, you’ve taken your

Chisel and carved out word I never thought I’d say
(Now I give them to you)
The corner of its foundation now bears
(And I whisper the great saying

From every house I ever wrecked
I took away the pieces of all I lacked
Reconstituted almost whole
A body that could absorb the impact
Until the day I collided with you
And saw the very last crack filled up
Every corner became a room
I saw a home wherever you turned up
