Perfect Moment

Once in your life, there's a perfect moment
You can try all you like, but you'll never get over it
It's easy to say that it's a brand new day
But by the end of the morning
You're still feeling the same as before

Years go by and you remember the times
As if never a tear had been shed
But any time now the penny's gonna drop
If you're not very careful
Then that moment is all that you've got

Never gonna taste this year's wine
Never gonna see this week's show
Never gonna be what I ain't been
"I don't wanna fall down again
So I just won't walk again
It's easier that way and that's just me"

If you say one thing always leads to another
Is it likely that two friends can become true lovers?
You wake up one morning with the sun in your hair
You look for your moment and it's just not there
What's the point in a smile?
What's the point in a kiss?
If everything you've loved before has come down to this
"It's not fair," you say "but it'll always be this way"
"I'm destined to love like it's yesterday"

And then you'll change...
And say, "I don't know if I'm right or wrong
In thinking my perfect moment had come and gone
It doesn't make me happy
It doesn't make me sad
Just a feeling that I don't belong
Where the moments are yet to appear
While the rest of you live and die by the strength of your fears
That it'll never happen again
And if once is all I'm given then once is all I get
And I'll stand by myself, can't get inside myself
I built a wall and it's starting to set"

The truth is my dear, there's nothing set in stone
You could live in a crowd and still be alone
There's no perfect moment - accept that which you're in
And everything that happens can happen again, to you
