Arizona Stars

My heart is like an old apartment
 An empty suitcase in the dark
 Some people pack their things
 Some people see what morning brings
 But in the end they depart
 I try to remember the better times
 Beneath the Arizona stars
 And when the morning came
 It painted all the cliffs with flame
 But those days seem so far
 I try
 But striving for perfection is a waste of time
 I apologize
 But all these imperfections are mine
 I think that arguments are blinded truths
 You only see them in a certain light
 You stand on solid ground
 But love and grace could not be found
 So what good comes from the fight
 I try
 But striving for perfection is a waste of time
 I apologize
 But all these imperfections are mine
 I think that life is like a jack pine
 We cycle through the growth and fire
 When someone burns us down
 We rise up through unlikely ground
 And this time we grow even higher
 I try
 But striving for perfection is a waste of time
 I apologize
 But it wasn't all for nothing in the scheme of life
 I try
 But striving for perfection is a waste of time
 Oh and I apologize
 But all these imperfections are mine
 I try to remember the better times
 I try to remember
 I try to remember the better times
 I try to remember the better times
