Perfectionist
There was a girl I knew
She was young and fun like you
But she was her own prized possession
And she would talk about the sky
She would talk about the little things, and no one knew why
But she never thought anything of it
Clearly those times have passed
The joy in her youth was never meant to last
Cause' now she's treated like a dog, treated like a possession
And she don't talk about the sky
Cause' she spends so long trying to rationalize
Wondering if this is how the pieces fit
How do I live my life like this
Stuck in the shoes of a perfectionist?
Oh, let me tell you just how much I need you right now
Let's just go back and pretend
Hand me the construction paper and the ballpoint pens
Oh, we could taste toothpaste, we could watch ourselves waste time
We'll go as far as we try
And we can be quiet without anyone asking why
How do I live my life like this
Stuck in the shoes of a perfectionist?
Oh, let me tell you just how much I need you right now
How do I live my life like this
Stuck in the shoes of a perfectionist?
Oh, let me tell you just how much I need you right now
How do I live my life like this
Stuck in the shoes of a perfectionist?
Oh, let me tell you just how much I need you right now
How do I live my life like this?
Trying to love you, cause' I can't resist
Oh, let me tell you just how much I need you right now
Need you right now
Need you right now
Why do I live my life like this?
She was young and fun like you
But she was her own prized possession
And she would talk about the sky
She would talk about the little things, and no one knew why
But she never thought anything of it
Clearly those times have passed
The joy in her youth was never meant to last
Cause' now she's treated like a dog, treated like a possession
And she don't talk about the sky
Cause' she spends so long trying to rationalize
Wondering if this is how the pieces fit
How do I live my life like this
Stuck in the shoes of a perfectionist?
Oh, let me tell you just how much I need you right now
Let's just go back and pretend
Hand me the construction paper and the ballpoint pens
Oh, we could taste toothpaste, we could watch ourselves waste time
We'll go as far as we try
And we can be quiet without anyone asking why
How do I live my life like this
Stuck in the shoes of a perfectionist?
Oh, let me tell you just how much I need you right now
How do I live my life like this
Stuck in the shoes of a perfectionist?
Oh, let me tell you just how much I need you right now
How do I live my life like this
Stuck in the shoes of a perfectionist?
Oh, let me tell you just how much I need you right now
How do I live my life like this?
Trying to love you, cause' I can't resist
Oh, let me tell you just how much I need you right now
Need you right now
Need you right now
Why do I live my life like this?
