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 -acap
