Lyrics

Perfect (Smashing Pumpkins) [feat. MJ Lenderman]

I know we're just like old friends
We just can't pretend
That lovers make amends

We are reasons so unreal
We can't help but feel
That somethin' has been lost

So please, you know you're just like me
Next time, I promise we'll be

Perfect
Perfect
Perfect strangers down the line
Lovers out of time
Memories unwind

So far, I still know who you are
But now, I wonder who I was

Angel, you know it's not the end
We'll always be good friends
The letters have been sent on

So please, you always were so free
You'll see, I promise we'll be

Perfect
Perfect strangers when we meet
Strangers on the street
Lovers while we sleep

Perfect
You know this has to be (perfect)
We always were so free (perfect)
We promised that we'd be-
