You button up, one row askew
Say it’s “style” and laugh it through
I pretend I don’t see much
But I fix it with a touch
You don’t ask for help at all
Still, you catch me when I fall
And the way your smile appears
Cleans the weight from all my years
You don’t plan your little flaws
But they feel like quiet cause
Buttoned all wrong, but still right
Like a window holding light
You don’t need to be pristine
Just your warmth is all I mean
Every slip becomes a thread
In the love that we have fed
Even if the world feels long
You’re my favorite buttoned wrong
You don’t fit the perfect mold
But your touch is soft and bold
Not a frame that’s made to fit
But you shine in all of it
In your stumbles, you belong
You’re my reason, buttoned wrong
