Song Lyrics

When you look real close you can see real good
You can see the imperfections
Now that we know the crooked and the straight
We can love in real completion
It's a danger to love for tomorrow
It's a danger to love for the better
But if it's not there it's just not there
With the things that really matter
Taking it just the way that it is
I'm taking it at face value
Things can look better in the distance
But that not the way I want to love you

I want to love you that close
I want to love you that close
I want to love you that close

I'm taking it just the way that it is
Opinion s will fly back and forth
And to disagree can be treason
But you have loved my stronger side
And I have loved the reasons
Takin' it just the way that it is
I'm takin' it at face value

Things can look better in the distance
But that's not the way I want to love you
I've been drinking my coffee from a china cup
I've been feeling holy and better
In a borrowed apartment in Boston
I sat down and wrote you this love letter.
