Perfect

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

Should I have succumbed to your courtesy

I could see you were trying to get my attention

But I pushed it away

This time I think it could be perfect

But you'd push it away

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

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
