Closer To Perfect

"Closer to Perfect" tells the story of a cowboy who has built his life around independence. He

is used to keeping women at arm's length, playing hard to get, and protecting his heart at all costs.

He does not need help, does not want to be tied down, and makes it clear that if anyone tries to

corral his heart, he will resist. Then everything changes when he meets a woman who does not

chase him with games, but simply offers him her heart. In that moment, he begins to see

something real in her - someone awesome, sweet, and smart - and for the first time he starts to

believe that love might actually have a chance to bloom.

As the song unfolds, the cowboy begins to realize just how deeply she has changed him. What

once felt like a guarded, lonely life now feels full of magic, warmth, and possibility. In the second

verse, he is on the edge of admitting how much he cares, and by the third verse he fully

understands that before her, his life was shallow and incomplete. Now he knows he loves her,

needs her, and cannot imagine losing her. "Closer to Perfect" is really about emotional surrender -

the journey from self-protection to vulnerability, and from standing alone to finding a love that

feels stronger, deeper, and closer to the kind of perfection he never thought he would find.

Lyrics

When we, first met, I played hard to get

Like all, the others, I kept my fair distance

I own, my pickup truck, don't need no assistance

Corral, my heart, I'll give you resistance

But you offered, me your heart

You're awesome, sweet, and smart

Now our love, has a chance to start

Flowing, growing, closer

Closer to perfect

You changed, my life, and turned me around

Every day, with you, is way beyond compare

Magic, as I watch, you just brush your hair

First time, in my life, close to saying I care

Getting closer, closer

But you offered me your heart

You're awesome sweet and smart

Now our love has a chance to start

Flowing, growing, closer

Closer to perfect

I use, to walk alone, shallow and incomplete

Couldn't bear; to lose you, I'd miss your heartbeat

I love, to hold your hand, on a scary stormy night

Need to feel, you tremble, when I hold you so tight

Getting closer closer

But you offered me your heart

You're awesome, sweet and smart

Now our love has a chance to start

Flowing, growing, closer

Closer to Perfect
