Perfect Words

(album: Nights Like These - 2012)

Oh ohh, oh ohh, oh ohh, oh ohh
Oh ohh, oh ohhhh.

Ah, she takes a look in the mirror but can't recognize who's staring back (back)
Couple of years bad love with more down and ups like the glass that crack,
Bright lights in the city what a pity that I don't recall your name
In every single town, we think you overcame,
The clouds come around and it fall some rain.

I mumble out the words, jumbled inside my head
It's time to make things better but they get worse instead
When you left to fight some things that never end,
Would do this again?

You say what I am (I am), I say what I'm not (I'm not)
You know I'm no good when it's on the spot,
I've looked everywhere to find... the perfect words.
Oh ohh, oh ohh, oh ohh, oh ohh.
You say what I am (I am), I say what I'm not (I'm not)
You know I'm no good when it's on the spot,
I've looked everywhere to find... the perfect words.

Yo, take one look in the review, I can't recognize what's staring back,
If the past is the past, I can't hang from now so cut me some slack
And it's easy to jump than get up and walk so we sit around and wait
For the words to come up that might inspire us,
To stop fucking up and change our fate

I mumble out the words, jumbled inside my head
You're looking for answers, I'm looking for a pair
I'm gonna sleep this one away and come back in the end
Will do this again?

You say what I am (I am), I say what I'm not (I'm not)
You know I'm no good when it's on the spot,
I've looked everywhere to find... the perfect words.
Oh ohh, oh ohh, oh ohh, oh ohh.
You say what I am (I am), I say what I'm not (I'm not)
You know I'm no good when it's on the spot,
I've looked everywhere to find... the perfect words.

At the corner store, the licker store or around the block
Go the wind down town or at the mall at the check out stop
I search far and wide and try to find the little things
That I can say back to you to make everyone understand

You say what I am (I am), I say what I'm not (I'm not)
You know I'm no good when it's on the spot,
I've looked everywhere to find... the perfect words.
Oh ohh, oh ohh, oh ohh, oh ohh.
You say what I am (I am), I say what I'm not (I'm not)
You know I'm no good when it's on the spot,
I've looked everywhere to find... the perfect words.

You say what I am (I am), I say what I'm not (I'm not)
You know I'm no good when it's on the spot,
I've looked everywhere to find... the perfect words.
Oh ohh, oh ohh, oh ohh, oh ohh.
You say what I am (I am), I say what I'm not (I'm not)
You know I'm no good when it's on the spot,
I've looked everywhere to find... the perfect words.
