This time I think it could be perfect

But you're pushing 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 plans 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're pushing away

This time I think it could be perfect

But you're pushing away



But tonight it seemed suddenly perfect

Still no promises made

The balance of power has shifted

Were you trying to let me in?

Or was I trying so hard

That all of my confidence was lost tonight?

Confused and regretful, I cracked

Swallowed it back, and left with no spine intact



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're pushing away

This time I think it could be perfect

But you're pushing away

This time I think it could be perfect

But you're pushing away

This time I think it could be



Maybe we were meant

To see what's right

She held a sort of it

Just a taste of life

To see what's right

To make sense out of it



What a shame that we're slipping away now (away now)

Going away now

To see what's out there

'cause you're all that's here for me



This time I think it could be perfect

But you're pushing 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 -acap
