In a perfect world lyrics

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

But baby, we're not here to stay

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

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

But baby, they're not here to stay

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

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

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
