It Isn’t Perfect But It Might Be

[Intro]

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la (Mm)

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la

[Verse 1]

There's a lot of ground to cover

One foot and then the other

On my way, my way to somewhere new

A few false starts, can you forgive this

Cautious heart and just bear with it

While it does what I thought it couldn't do

[Chorus]

I could go back to the old place (Mm)

And write your name on every blank page (Mm)

But it's a story now, just a story now

That's the kind of thing that you'd say

You say no need to look behind me (Mm)

That I can keep you here beside me (Mm)

To make a mess of it, then make the best of it

It isn't perfect, but it might be

[Post-Chorus]

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la (Mm)

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la

[Verse 2]

You dip your toе and then you paddle

All beforе you swim the channel

Thought I'd never make it, but I might

[Chorus]

Oh, I could go back to the old place (Mm)

And write your name on every blank page (Mm)

But it's a story now, just a story now

That's the kind of thing that you'd say

You say no need to look behind me (Mm)

That I can keep you here beside me (Mm)

To make a mess of it, then make the best of it

It isn't perfect, but it might be

[Post-Chorus]

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la

Mm (Mm)

[Bridge]

Treading lightly, thinking slightly

It just might be, it just might be

Treading lightly, thinking slightly

It just might be, it just might be, it just might be

[Chorus]

Oh, I could go back to the old place

And write your name on every blank page

But it's a story now, just a story now

Is the kind of thing that you'd say

That there's no need to look behind me (Mm)

That I can keep you here beside me (Mm)

To make a mess of it, then make the best of it

It isn't perfect, but it might be, yeah

[Post-Chorus]

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la

Like it might be, yeah (Mm)

Like it might be (La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la)

[Outro]

Woo-hoo, mm

Ooh

Might be, might be, might be
