Perfect - Laura Stevenson

Don’t you let your light filter in, I’ll be alright

By myself tonight

War’s on, settle in

While my record-setters spin for the Guinness Book

And damned near perfect we were

On the spinning Earth

Don’t you pull the pin

Keep it all from closing in

On itself tonight

Fool to bet your life

Better wise than lucky

I’d sooner double down

And the driveway is drying out our young names

As we circle 'round

Hold the candle still

Stutter-hand and steady will

With your flickering you

You fill my philistine mind

When I know what that means

Then I will be damned

Damned near perfect we were

Passing rashes and words

That don’t mean a thing

And the driveway is drying out our young names

They made babies by now

But there’s still a war on

Don’t you let your light filter in, I’ll be alright

By myself tonight
