lyrics

Verse 1
My boyfriend's from the other side
Of this town and we cannot hide
That we're not what people say is normal
But normal's boring anyway
I wake up at 6:30
He's up all night, he sleeps til 3
So I got a tan and he's pale as can be
And everyone is asking what is wrong me

Chorus
I know it's not gonna be easy
Nobody knows him
They just think they know me
I know it'll never be fair
It's just a mystery
No one gets what we share
Though they can't see it
We're gonna be it
The perfect, imperfect

Verse 2
People ask me what I see in him
The odd couple seems to be a sin
We're different faces different races
And our different parents disagree
I go to school and he dropped out
I do homework while he rocks out
I've got big plans
Got life down to a tee
And he's as random as anyone could ever be

Chorus
I know it's not gonna be easy
Nobody knows him
They just think they know me
I know it'll never be fair
It's just a mystery
No one get what we share
Though they can't see it
We're gonna be it
The perfect, imperfect

Bridge
I don't care what anyone's thinking
Let's act up and make out and see how stupid they get
They can stare on without blinking
We'll never be like them
And I'm proud
That we're imperfect, the imperfect pair

Chorus
I know it's not gonna be easy
Nobody knows him
They just think they know me
I know it'll never be fair
It's just a mystery
No one get what we share
Though they can't see it
We are a perfect, a perfect
Imperfect pair
