Been dreaming with eyes open wide
Been searching for something that I’ll never find
Wrap myself in the material
Leaves me so empty inside
Been drifting, the ocean so wide
Was stranded, but then you came into my life
New love can promise eternity
Tomorrow’s so far out of sight
In a perfect world
This would last forever
But it’s not a perfect world
So we’ll live for the moment, this moment
This moment is all that we have
In a perfect world
A second, a fragment in time
We capture the beauty as life passes by
Hold on to the magic in everything
It’s gone in the blink of an eye
In a perfect world
This would last forever
But it’s not a perfect world
So we’ll live for the moment, this moment
This moment is all that we have
In a perfect world
We’re made to be loved, not to be used
Sometimes it’s things that we love, people we lose
In a perfect world
This would last forever
But it’s not a perfect world
No, it’s not a perfect world
So we’ll live for the moment, this moment
This moment is all that we have
'Cause nothing else matters
What matters is now, not the future or past
In a perfect world
