Perfect For You

(album: Next To Normal (Original Broadway Cast Recording) - 2009)

[Henry:]
Our planet is poison
The oceans, the air
Around and beneath and above you

[Natalie:]
Um, Henry, that's true
And I totally care

[Henry:]
I'm trying to tell you I love you

[Natalie:]
What?

[Henry:]
The world is at war
Filled with death and disease
We dance on the edge of destruction
The globe's getting warmer by deadly degrees

[Natalie:]
And this is one fucked up seduction

[Henry:]
This planet is pretty much broken beyond all repair
But one thing is working if you're standing there

Perfect for you
I could be perfect for you
I might be lazy, a loner
A bit of a stoner, it's true
But I might be perfect
I'll make myself perfect
Perfect for you

You square all the corners
I straighten the curves

[Natalie:]
You've got some nerve, Henry
And I'm just all nerves

[Henry:]
But even if everything else turns to dirt

[Henry & Natalie:]
We'll be the one thing
In this world that won't hurt

[Henry:]
I can't fix what's fucked up
But one thing I know I can do
I can be perfect for you

[Natalie:]
I can be perfect for you

[Henry & Natalie:]
Perfect for you
