Picture Perfect Lyrics
Man Overboard
Lyrics
She had the ’59 out,
Daddy let her drive it about.
She honked the horn and thought,
“C’mon now, don’t make me shout.”
They took a spin around town,
He felt the tears come back.
He missed her so much when he was gone
And he’ll never leave again.
No, he'll never leave again.
Cause the best friends that a boy could have weren’t the best enough,
And her picture perfect world couldn’t keep her happy
And that’s when they fell in love,
Not at first, but when push really came to shove.
And her picture perfect world couldn’t keep her happy
Her picture perfect world couldn’t keep her happy no more.
They took a walk to the docks,
Removed their shoes and socks.
They felt the breeze roll in
And took a seat on the rocks.
He said, “I miss you so much”
She said, “I miss you too”…
“We were so stupid for being apart,
What the f*ck did we do?
What the f*ck did we do?”
Cause the best friends that a boy could have weren’t the best enough,
And her picture perfect world couldn’t keep her happy
And that’s when they fell in love,
Not at first, but when push really came to shove.
And her picture perfect world couldn’t keep her happy
Cause the best friends that a boy could have weren’t the best enough,
(Your best friends were never enough)
And her picture perfect world couldn’t keep her happy
And that’s when they fell in love,
Push really came to shove.
He never knew
But sadly it's true
Her picture perfect world
Couldn't keep her happy no more
