Perfect

Maren Ord · Waiting

Don't close your eyes

They may not open

What if they open

Would you be alive



Everyone falls

But not everyone rises

Why don't you get up

And rise again for me



chorus:



What if the world were

a little more perfect

Would you stop crying or

would you take the leap

What if the world

were a little more perfect

Would you open your eyes

and blink again for me



What about friendship

What about friends

You said the whole world

was against you

And it all had to end



What about love

What about family

What about all that

you have to live for



What if the world were

a little more perfect

Would you stop crying or

would you take the leap

What if the world

were a little more perfect

Would you open your eyes

and blink again for me (for me, yeah, for me)



it isn't easy here without you

Why did you leave me

What am I supposed to do

(without you)



What if the world were

a little more perfect

Would you stop crying or

would you take the leap

And what if the world

were a little more perfect

Would you open your eyes



And what if the world were

a little more perfect

Would you stop crying or

would you take the leap

And what if the world

were a little more perfect

Would you open your eyes

And blink again for me (for me, ohhhh, for me)
