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 & die like this,
I dare you to fight for it.

CHORUS:
In a perfect world.
Wouldn't be too late to make it right.
In a perfect world.
I'd be holding you so very tight. Ahh ah,
In our perfect world tonight.

If you lay down your shield,
I won't hurt you.
Just let me show you how I feel.
Down deep inside my heart,
you know you left your mark.
No one can say that it's not real.

We live & die like this.
I dare you to fight for it this time.

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
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.

CHORUS
