This time I think it could be perfect
  But you're pushing away
  I came here today with a purpose
  Should I try or just let it go?
  'cause these things I'd like to ask you
  Are things I can't explain
  Or should I keep your plans outside the porch last Saturday?
    Should I have succumbed to your courtesy?
  I could see you were trying to get my attention
  But I pushed it away
    This time I think it could be perfect
  But you're pushing away
  This time I think it could be perfect
  But you're pushing away
    But tonight it seemed suddenly perfect
  Still no promises made
  The balance of power has shifted
  Were you trying to let me in?
  Or was I trying so hard
  That all of my confidence was lost tonight?
  Confused and regretful, I cracked
  Swallowed it back, and left with no spine intact
    Should I have succumbed to your courtesy?
  I could see you were trying to get my attention
  But I pushed it away
    This time I think it could be perfect
  But you're pushing away
  This time I think it could be perfect
  But you're pushing away
  This time I think it could be perfect
  But you're pushing away
  This time I think it could be
    Maybe we were meant
  To see what's right
  She held a sort of it
  Just a taste of life
  To see what's right
  To make sense out of it
    What a shame that we're slipping away now (away now)
  Going away now
  To see what's out there
  'cause you're all that's here for me
    This time I think it could be perfect
  But you're pushing away
  This time I think it could be perfect
  You're all that's here for me
  This time I think it could be perfect
  But you're pushing away
  This time I think it could be perfect
  You're all that's here for me
