Jay Legaspi - Picture Perfect [Original Song]

Based on a true story :)

Recorded at the studio we're recording the album at while waiting for the session to start.

Dedicated to everyone who knows that real life romance is better than any made up story for a movie could portray.

Drums and percussion by my band-- Matt Pana and John Violago :)

Lyrics:
::V1::
It was somewhere in between the crossing of that street
And stepping on the other side that I became aware of time
And I could swear--the big and little hands on 3:16
Were pointing right at you
Slightly back and right of me

And that's when I thought...
Of what I'd give to take this day as something we'd celebrate
Each passing month...
It made me have to pause
To stop and look around for cameras

::CH1::
I'm waiting for someone to say,
"Cut the Take"
It's way too picture perfect
A scene unlikely to occur 'cause it's
A chance so golden it should only have a home on
The silver screen
Why would it happen to me?
Maybe I shouldn't doubt
Just keep my mouth shut, let go...
Enjoying how it all plays out

::V2::
It was halfway down that block, my balance seemed to stop
And I was sober but I had to try to walk in a straight line
'Cause it was like gravity would pull me to your side
And my fingers would tingle when yours happened to brush mine

And that's when I thought
If forces out of our control were pulling strings to keep us close
And like a response
To what I had in mind--
You tripped
I caught you and then
We caught eyes

::CH2::
I'm waiting for someone to say,
"Cut the Take"
It's way too picture perfect
A scene unlikely to occur 'cause it's
A chance so golden it should only have a home on
The silver screen
Why would it happen to me?
Maybe I shouldn't doubt
Just keep my mouth shut, let go...
Enjoying how it all plays out

::Bridge::
Next comes part when
We stay at an arm's length
But we have our arms bent
And I swear that all of this...
Seems to be following a script

::V3::
And now I'm inches from you lips
Where distance makes no sense
And I could hear the credits roll as I moved in

::CH3::
I'm waiting for someone to say,
"Cut the Take"
It's way too picture perfect
A scene unlikely to occur 'cause it's
A chance so golden it should only have a home on
The silver screen
But thank God it happened to me :)
Maybe I shouldn't doubt
Just keep my mouth shut, let go...
Enjoying how it all plays out
