John Coinman - This Perfect World Lyrics

This perfect world
Keeps gettin' blown apart
It's tearin' up my soul
And breakin' my heart
We try and try
To get it right and then
After all is said and done
We keep messin' it up again
And all this time
We build our dreams of stone
Shelter from the pain
In a world of our own

And it seems like the end is always near
And this perfect world is never perfectly clear
But it's alright with me
Just as long as I can see
That you're still in this perfect world

Time and again
We keep lookin' back
What once was just fiction
Has now become a fact
We can't change the past
It is dead as nails
We can't change the wind
So we better change the sails
'Cause this perfect world
Was meant for you and me
We can keep on goin'
When it brings us to our knees

And it seems like the end is always near
And this perfect world is never perfectly clear
But it's alright with me
Just as long as I can see
That you're still in this perfect world
