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 small

We live and die like this
I dare you to fight for it

In 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 tonight

You 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 real

We live and die like this
I dare you to fight for it this time
In 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 tonight

The wheel keeps turnin'
And we're burnin' in the flames

It's not wrong to hold on to love
And let go of the pain

In a perfect world
I'd be holding you so very tight

Ahh ah, oh yeah

In a perfect world tonight

Tonight, oh yeah
