Perfect Lyrics by Midtown

Living Well Is the Best Revenge

2002

[Verse 1]
This time, I think it could be perfect
But you'd push it away
I came here today with a purpose
Should I try or just let it go?
'Cause these things I'd like to ask you
Are things I can't explain
Or should I keep your glance outside the porch last Saturday?

[Pre-Chorus]
Should I have succumbed to your courtesy?
I could see you were trying to get my attention
But I pushed it away

[Chorus]
This time I think it could be perfect
But you'd push it away
This time I think it could be perfect
But you'd push it away, yeah

[Verse 2]
But tonight it seemed suddenly perfect
Still no promises made
The balance of power was shifted
Were you trying to let me in?
Or was I trying so hard
That all my confidence was lost tonight?
Confused and regretful, I cracked
Swallowed it back
And left with no spine intact

[Pre-Chorus]
Should I have succumbed to your courtesy?
I could see you were trying to get my attention
But I pushed it away

[Chorus]
This time I think it could be perfect
But you'd push it away
This time I think it could be perfect
But you'd push it away
This time I think it could be perfect
But you'd push it away
This time I think it could be

[Bridge]
Maybe we were meant to see what's right
See how this ought to be
Just a taste of life to see what's right
You made sense out of me
What a shame that we're slipping away now
I'm going away now
Off to see what's out there
'Cause you're all that's here for me

[Chorus]
This time I think it could be perfect
But you'd push it away
This time I think it could be perfect
You're all that's here for me
This time I think it could be perfect
But you'd push it away
This time I think it could be perfect
You're all that's here for me
