Every lover would get a rose on Valentine's Day
And every stray dog would find its way
I'd be in your arms tonight with your ease
Instead of at your doorstep on my knees
In a perfect world
In a nearly perfect world
The passing days absolve all our sins
In the cool of the evening, the losing team wins
How to count my lack of trust
And the mess I made of us
In a perfect world
In a nearly perfect world
When you held me, I could not fall
When we walked together, we walked tall
When you locked me in your arms, I felt so free
When I looked in your eyes, I saw what I thought would be
A perfect world
Nearly perfect world
The harshness of the day would be broken by rain
Shattered hearts would come together again
We'd have the guts to let our love stand
I'd never let you slip through my hands
In a perfect world
In a nearly perfect world
In a perfect world
In a nearly perfect world
