I always get disheartened
on muted nights like this

Slowly sliding raindrops
are reflected in the windshield
I'm searching for a lover
somewhere among the healed

Will you bring me a thousand roses
making sure to leave the thorns?
Or would you like the others
treat my delusions with scorn

and you should know,
I always get disheartened
on muted nights like this

I'm asking for a dirty angel
hoping not to receive a saint
'cause baby, a perfect partner
is precisely what I aint

What I want is pretty simple,
just the life of Marie Antoinette
and a good boy like you, at my side
but it hasn't happened yet

oh no, it hasn't happened yet

and you should really know,
I always get disheartened
on muted nights like this

i love it! The sliding raindrops on the windscreen creates a gorgeous backdrop for the rest of the poem, and the craving for imperfection is so beautifully articulated... love the imagery of leaving the thorns on the rose :)
