Lyrics

As Perfect As We'll Ever Be

Alone in my head 'cause there's no one around
One step away from the brink
Searching to speak but I don't make a sound
The quiet can drive you to drink
I've been waiting a while testing it out
Dipping my toe in the pool
I've come to the conclusion
The answer I already knew

Wrote you a letter kept in the drawer
Don't open until after I've left
Words are sincere and the penmanship poor
Now it stays locked in the desk
Try as I might just to say aloud
I wanna make sure that you know
I loved you when I met you
I knew I would never let go

You'll only regret what you didn't say
And everything else you retract
Take care from my lungs if you walk away
My body won't stand the attack
I'm tempted to treat every other day
As one where each morning I see
You at my side as we come away
As perfect as we'll ever be
