Lyrics Imperfect Animals - Becca Stevens

Imperfect Animals

I wanna leave you time,
plenty of space so that I’m,
still amused,
when you write.
I wanna take it easy on, inner child,
break out and bite the hand that holds you down
and take my cues from the horses mouth,
I wanna hold, every moment in my own hands,
Feel every breath that i take in,
Love you the way that I know I can.
But it’s impossible,
to live in parables,
cause we by nature are,
imperfect animals.
These hips, can carry all your kids,
I’ll be the perfect mix, of what you have and what you miss,
We’ll grow some perfect leaves on our braches.
Keep steady feet while we’re dancing,
To set the pace for our grankids.
Cause it’s impossible
to live in parables,
cause we by nature are,
imperfect animals.
And it defies design
to be a paradigm,
Still I want perfection
as an imperfect animal.
Give me pieces to lighten up,
When the storm starts,
Take up some slack from my heavy heart,
and be a perfect counterpart.
I’m trying to understand what makes us how we are.
Take the hurtin as a learning part,
Imperfection is a perfect place to start.
It’s impossible,
to live in parables,
cause we by nature are,
imperfect animals.
And it defies design,
to be a paradigm,
still I want perfection.
I want perfection,
as an imperfect animal.
