In a Perfect World

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Baby, I've been feeling a bit on edge Lately, I've been careless at making bets Living in a world where it's always Monday One AM and dark, and it's always pouring Where you can feel the weight of a new day rising By the neon furies of advertising [Pre-Chorus] But baby, we're not here to stay [Chorus] So hey, hey, hey, hush, don't be crying now, hear 'Cause any day fortune may wander down, dear And we can see a world that is milk and honey The tapestry of life as a beautiful journey There's always a promise of a silver lining There's that elation of perfect timing In a perfect world [Verse 2] Baby, I can see through their idle threats So easy I can walk through their bayonets But even still I can stumble and fall And every step I miss, it still takes its toll Even if I wise up there's always a price Serenity betrays and troubles arise [Pre-Chorus] But baby, they're not here to stay [Chorus] So hey, hey, hey, hush, don't be crying now, hear 'Cause any day fortune may wander down, dear And we can see a world that is milk and honey The tapestry of life as a beautiful journey There's always a promise of a silver lining There's that elation of perfect timing In a perfect world we'd know just why [Bridge] In a perfect world we would never lie In a perfect world there'd be no reason to cry In a perfect world, in a perfect world In a perfect world we'd never die [Chorus] So hey, hey, hey, hush, don't be crying now, hear 'Cause any day fortune may wander down, dear And we can see the world that is milk and honey The tapestry of life as a beautiful journey There's always the promise of a silver lining There's that elation of perfect timing Yeah, in a perfect world
