Jay's Song

Stephen Covell


The perfect love songs are never sung 
They are spoken through this feeling 
Because the perfect loves are never won 
A horizon always receding 

Its fleeting, misleading, and somewhat deceiving 
Though, I'd never thought I'd be the one who was leaving 
And at night the show behind my eyes keeps me dreaming 
That someday she'll be the one 

Hang out your laundry to sweat in the sun 
Your baggage fully unpacked 
Toss up some billboards, and lace up my shoes 
It seems to be that I'm back on the track 

I know you'd be lying if you said you were flying 
But that doesn't mean that you should waste you days crying 
Thinking about the knot we'll never be tieing 

You just needed some room, now you think you're marooned 
A vessel unworthy, put your self in my shoes 
Consider my friendship will always be true 

So if you cant take it for what it's worth 
Pretend is a treasure chest buried deep in the earth 
That way, one day, you'll dig it up and see 
How much closer we could be 

To the perfect love song 

Though it's never sung 
They are spoken through this feeling 
Because the perfect loves are never won 
A horizon always receding 
Always receding
