The Perfect World
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I listen to music to know that I am not alone
I read books to know that I am not alone
I look at you and I see I am not alone
When I reach out to you it feels like coming home
I'm coming to a perfect world with you
I'm waiting for the moment with you, hey hey hey hey
Over my head, really Never felt like this before, maybe
Can't say the reason, clearly The rhythym beats me,
You know that feeling, feeling, feeling
You know that feeling, feeling, feeling
You know that feeling, feeling, feeling You know that feeling
I listen to music to know that I am not alone
And when I touch you, I find we're not the only ones
I'm coming to a perfect world with you
I'm waiting for the moment with you, hey hey hey hey
Over my head, really Never felt like this before, maybe
Can't say the reason, clearly The rhythym beats me,
You know that feeling, feeling, feeling
You know that feeling, feeling, feeling
You know that feeling, feeling, feeling You know that feeling
The perfect world is hard to reach The perfect world makes us happy
Get going to get the groove Get going to catch your move
Overhead, over my head, really Never felt like this before, maybe
Can't say the reason, clearly The rhythym beats me,
You know that feeling, feeling, feeling
You know that feeling, feeling, feeling
You know that feeling, feeling, feeling You know that feeling
