Perfect Lover
Unlocking Hearts: Hayes Carll's Perfect Lover Reveals a Symphony of Love
Lyrics
I could be the perfect lover if you let me
I am capable of being the perfect lover if you allow me.
I could be the only thing you've ever known
I could be the sole significant presence in your life.
I could scream out all your lonely heart's desires
I can express and fulfill the desires of your lonely heart loudly.
I could hold all your life's pain inside my own
I am willing to bear and understand all the pain in your life.
I could bring the clouds for you to walk among them
I can create a positive and comforting environment for you.
I could raise the seas for them to know your grace
I can elevate your status or importance like raising seas.
I could teach the Gods of all your Autumn's glory
I can acknowledge and appreciate the beauty of your life experiences.
I could bring the Summer stars to know your face
I can bring special moments and experiences to your life.
But if I come again and only as a friend
If I approach you again, but only as a friend, would you recognize my sincere feelings?
Would you still know the way my heart is pourin' out
Will you still understand the depth of my emotions?
Or would you laugh aloud, an angel all too proud
Or would you mockingly dismiss my genuine feelings, being too proud to admit loneliness?
To ever be lonely again
Are you too proud to be vulnerable and lonely again?
I been locked up here with all these lonesome questions
I've been grappling with profound questions about my solitude.
I need a new word just to whisper in your ear
I need a new way to express my feelings intimately to you.
Baby right now I am open to suggestions
Currently, I am receptive to suggestions and guidance.
I'm gonna tell you all the things you need to hear
I am prepared to communicate the things you need to hear.
There's a mirror in my room with no reflection
There's a lack of self-reflection or self-awareness in my room.
There's a table where your friends have gathered 'round
There's a gathering of your friends, but I am not part of it.
There's a doorway that my heart could never walkthrough
There's an emotional barrier preventing me from entering your heart.
There's a graveyard full of times I let you down
There's a history of my past mistakes and regrets that haunt me.
But if I come again and only as a friend
If I approach you again, but only as a friend, would you recognize my sincere feelings?
Would you still know the way my heart is pourin' out
Will you still understand the depth of my emotions?
Or would you laugh aloud, an angel all too proud
Or would you mockingly dismiss my genuine feelings, being too proud to admit loneliness?
To ever be lonely again
Are you too proud to be vulnerable and lonely again?
