Lyrics

Closer to Perfection

[Intro]

Closer to perfection

Closer to perfection

[Verse 1]

Closed every door

Putting everything aside

Hooked onto you

And my life was passin' by

[Pre-Chorus 1]

I stood in a cloud of dust

Blinded 'til you cut me off

[Chorus]

I'm back and alive, gettin' over you

Now I got it together, I'm stronger than ever

Back on a track with a better view

And I'm getting closer to perfection 'cause of you

Closer to perfection

[Verse 2]

Gone in a beat

Suddenly out of my sight

Shook me around

Like a thunderboltin' strike

[Pre-Chorus 2]

I stand in the light of faith

I thank you in so many ways

[Chorus]

I'm back and alive, gettin' over you

Now I got it together, I'm stronger than ever

Back on a track with a better view

And I'm getting closer to perfection 'cause of you, yeah

Oh yeah

[Bridge]

Closer to perfection 'cause of you

I'm closer to perfection 'cause of you

All the things I wouldn't do

Without holdin' on to you

Lost in the dark

'Til you left me with a clue

[Chorus]

Back and alive, gettin' over you

Now I got it together (Together), I'm stronger than ever (Than ever)

Back on a track with a better view

And I'm getting closer to perfection 'cause of you

I'm back and alive, gettin' over you (Oh)

Now I got it together, I'm stronger than ever

Back on a track with a better view

And I'm getting closer to perfection 'cause of you (Oh)

And I'm getting closer to perfection 'cause of you
