Perfect Lyrics

[00:24.10] I know we're just like old friends
[00:30.68] We just can't pretend that lovers make amends
[00:40.96] We are reasons so unreal
[00:47.28] We can't help but feel that something has been lost
[00:57.84] But please, you know you're just like me
[01:06.08] Next time I promise we'll be perfect, perfect
[01:19.22] Perfect strangers down the line
[01:25.55] Lovers out of time, memories unwind
[01:35.46] So far I still know who you are
[01:43.81] But now I wonder who I was
[01:51.46]
[01:57.05] Angel, you know it's not the end
[02:02.95] We'll always be good friends
[02:07.33] But the letters have been sent on
[02:13.28] So please, you always were so free
[02:21.54] You'll see, I promise we'll be, perfect
[02:30.69] Perfect strangers when we meet
[02:36.82] Strangers on the street, lovers while we sleep
[02:47.34] Perfect, you know this has to be, we always were so free
[02:57.78] We promised that we'd be perfect, perfect, perfect
[03:13.96]
