Picture Perfect

She had the '59 out,
Daddy let her drive it about
She honked the horn and thought
C'mon now, don't 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 fuck did we do?
What the fuck 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,
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
