Just in case you didn’t know You are perfect You are a freak of nature A happy accident So fragile Like some old century vase on a pedestal being thrown across a room You Have a voice A voice that when you speak all I wanna do is stay You put me in awkward situations Like how sometimes we sit close and I just wanna put my arm around you No reason I just get this urge to do it How I sometimes just want to tell you how lonely hallways feel, And how empty the ballrooms are Why don’t they have those anymore? ‘cause I’d dance with you Hold you in my arms nothing short of forever You are perfect Because you have eyes Eyes that see better than most of the blind things And feet that help you move, but never take you far When we walk away from each other it always feels like slow motion And there is strange music in the background that makes me feel like the Beast I stay up nights just waiting for you You are perfect Like shallow breathes of air After almost drowning Reminds me life is short Can you hear it? That music? Must be getting ready to leave me again Just know before you go You are perfect Perfect like Hands And old people Perfect like awkward situations Like those silly sad reminders that life is short Just Perfect

You are Perfect
Just in case you didn’t know You are perfect You are a freak of nature A happy accident So fragile Like some old century vase on a pedestal being thrown across a room You Have a voice A voice that when you speak all I wanna do is stay You put me in awkward situations Like how sometimes we sit close and I just wanna put my arm around you No reason I just get this urge to do it How I sometimes just want to tell you how lonely hallways feel, And how empty the ballrooms are Why don’t they have those anymore? ‘cause I’d dance with you Hold you in my arms nothing short of forever You are perfect Because you have eyes Eyes that see better than most of the blind things And feet that help you move, but never take you far When we walk away from each other it always feels like slow motion And there is strange music in the background that makes me feel like the Beast I stay up nights just waiting for you You are perfect Like shallow breathes of air After almost drowning Reminds me life is short Can you hear it? That music? Must be getting ready to leave me again Just know before you go You are perfect Perfect like Hands And old people Perfect like awkward situations Like those silly sad reminders that life is short Just Perfect
