LESS THAN PERFECT

THAT'S OKAY

NOBODY IS ANYWAY

WOULDN'T THAT BE BORING

ALL THE SAME

NORMAL

I'M NOT SURE I'D KNOW

THE CRACKS APPEAR

BEGIN TO SHOW

BLACKED OUT WINDOWS

TO MY SOUL

ITS YOU 

THAT COMES TO MIND 

 

chorus

 

LEAVE ME THERE

TO DREAM

KISSED BY THE SUN

ANOTHER HEART

TO MISS ME

WITHOUT KNOWING WHY

FIRST MY BREATH

NOW MY SOUL

DON'T ASK ME WHY

I CAN'T LET GO

I'M LESS THAN PERFECT

I DON'T KNOW

 

NOW I WAKE TO

REALITY

FACE UP TO MY

MORTALITY

IT ALL CHANGES

GOES AWAY

NOBODY SAID

YOU'D EVER STAY

LIKE SEASONS GO ON

SHE'S GONE

 

ANGEL ON A WING

THE LOVE

THAT SHE WOULD BRING

WE NEVER KNEW

WE WOULD

NEVER TOUCH

THESE TIMES AGAIN 

SUMMER LIGHT

 

SUMMER LIGHT

I SAW MY LIFE

AS MORE THAN ONE

IF THAT'S ANY KIND OF WIN

A NOD TO ALL

THE TIME I PUT IN

DREAMS

GOT ME FROM THERE TO HERE

THE ROADS WERE

PERILOUS AND LONG

 

AS MUCH AS I THOUGHT

I WOULD STAY

I SAID MY GOODBYES

I WAS ON MY WAY

DREAMING IN 

THE SUMMER LIGHT 

THE LOVE THAT COMES

AND STAYS THE NIGHT

MAYBE THIS WAS IT

IT ALWAYS WAS

FOREVER ALWAYS BE

THE THINGS I SEE

THAT HELP ME HEAL

THE ONES THAT

I CAN FEEL

THE  ONES I CANNOT SEE

NOT A PART OF ME

 

ACROSS THE UNIVERSE

LOOK ON FROM THE EDGE

WITH YOU

SOME SEMBLANCE 

OF CONTROL 

ALWAYS ONE STEP

FROM LETTING GO

I SAW MY LIFE AS

 MORE THAN ONE

I'VE BEEN HERE

THAT LONG

IF THAT'S SOME KIND 

OF WIN

A NOD TO

ALL THE TIME

 I PUT IN

ITS ALL RECALLED

I WON'T GET IT

 BACK AGAIN

 

 

HEART LIKE MINE

 

HEART LIKE MINE

WHAT WAS IT EXACTLY

THE WHERE THE WHEN

THE WHO THE REASON

THE START THE END

THE THINGS THE WORLD

WOULD SEND

TO TRY ME

 

ALL I WANTED WAS

A HEART LIKE MINE

LOVE ME

FOR ALL OF TIME

JUST ALL YOURS

AND YOU ALL MINE

HOW I LONGED FOR THIS

JUST A STOLEN KISS

SOMEWHERE

TO START SOMETHING

 FUNNY HOW

SADNESS

ALWAYS FOUND ME FIRST

PULLED ME BACK

IN REVERSE

I ALWAYS WONDERED IF

IT WAS SOME KIND

 OF CURSE

 

ONE DAY IT PASSED ME BY

LEFT ME THERE TO DREAM

A SUMMER STREAM

MEANDERING

THROUGH THE WOOD

I VOWED I'D DO 

WHATEVER I COULD

TO KEEP THIS DREAM ALIVE

ON THIS THIN LINE

I RIDE

LOOKING FAR AND WIDE

FOR A HEART LIKE MINE

THOSE WERE

JUST THE TIMES

WE WERE IN

I COULDN'T GO

THROUGH THAT AGAIN

THANK GOD I FOUND

A HEART LIKE MINE

I LOVE HER EACH

AND EVERY TIME

JUST LIKE THE SUMMER SUN

I'M NEVER DONE WITH YOU

COULD YOU AND I

GO ON FOREVER

TIMES REVERED 

TIMES STILL REFERRED TO

ONES I PREFERRED  

PLAYED SO HARD TO GET 

DISAPPEARED ALL AT ONCE 

IN A CLOUD OF MYSTERY 

AND I STILL

HAVEN'T SEEN THEM YET

NEVER WILL I BET

 CHORUS

SOMETHING THAT

YOU CANNOT SEE

SOMETHING YOU CAN'T HAVE

SOMETHING THAT SADLY

WILL NEVER BE

YA KNOW SHE'S MOVED ON

SHE'S NO LONGER HERE

SHE'S GONE

MAY AS WELL GO

CARRY ON

 

WAITING IN THE SUMMER LIGHT

THERE'S A CHANCE YOU MIGHT

STILL BE HERE TONIGHT

STEEPED IN LIGHT

FROM THE PALEST MOON

TO LOOK INTO YOUR EYES

IS TO FALL INTO DREAMING 

THEY TAKE ME AWAY

TO SOMEWHERE NICE

WITH SOMEONE I LIKE

I'D FIGHT BUT I'M OKAY

YOU'RE KIND OF

 GOING MY WAY
