Perfect Now

Everything is perfect now

I don't want to make a movement

I'm too scared to breathe;

I might do something wrong

As you're sleeping silently

Perfect beauty laid before me

I feel every second is a life time long

There's a place I've been before

A place some say I should go more

But every journey just leads me so far away

When I just wanted to stay

So that's why I won't wake you where you lie

If I could now I'd freeze time

I can't find forever in your eyes

I should leave you while they're dry

Living underneath this guilt

I can't leave a house that I have built

Though I feel it sinking further everytime

And the weight of my mistakes

Means that everything I touch breaks

I don't want to see you as the next in line

So that's why I won't wake you where you lie

If I could now I'd freeze time

I can't find forever in your eyes

I should leave you while they're dry
