Now when the night falls
I won't be there
To cast a shadow on your wall
Why do we act this way?
Somehow the light of day
Makes our troubles seem so smallWe live and die like this
I dare you to fight for itIn a perfect world
Wouldn't be too late to make it right
No no, no
In a perfect world
I'd be holding you so very tight
Ahh ah, oh yeah
In a perfect world tonightYou can lay down your shield
I won't hurt you
Just let me show you how I feel
Down deep inside of my heart
You know you left your mark
No one can say that it's not realWe live and die like this
I dare you to fight for it this timeIn a perfect world
Wouldn't be too late to make it right
No, no, yeah
In a perfect world
I'd be holding you so very tight
Ahh ah, oh yeah
In a perfect world tonightThe wheel keeps turnin'
And we're burnin' in the flames
It's not wrong to hold on to love
And let go of the painIn a perfect world
I'd be holding you so very tight
Ahh ah, oh yeah
In a perfect world tonight
Tonight, oh yeah
