Perfect World

[Verse 1]
Every lover would get a rose on Valentine's Day
And every stray dog would find its way
I'd be in your arms tonight 'neath the leaves
Instead at your doorstep on my knees

[Refrain]
In a perfect world
In a nearly perfect world

[Verse 2]
In the passing days absolve all our sins
In the cool of the evening the losing team wins
I'd recant my lack of trust
And the mess I made of us

[Refrain]
In a perfect world
In a nearly perfect world

[Bridge]
When you held me, I could not fall
When we walkеd together, we walkеd tall
When you locked me in your arms I felt so free
When I looked in your eyes I saw what I thought could be

[Refrain]
A perfect world
A nearly perfect world

[Verse 3]
The harshness of the day would be broken by rain
Shattered hearts would come together again
I'd have the guts to bet our love'd stand
I'd never let you slip through my hands

[Refrain]
In a perfect world
In a nearly perfect world
In a perfect world
In a nearly perfect world
