Perfect Situation Lyrics
whats the deal
with my brain
why am I so obviously insane
in a perfect situation
I led love down the drain
theres the pitch
slow and straight
all i have to do is swing
and i'm a hero
but i'm a zero
hungry nights
once again
now its getting unbelievable
cause I could not have it better
but i just can't get no play
from the girls
all around
as they search the night for someone to hold on to
and just pass through
singin ah-AHHHHHHHHHHH
get your hands
off the girl
can't you see that she belongs to me
and i don't appreciate this
excess company
though i can't satisfy
all the needs she has and so she starts to wander
can you blame her?
singin ah-AHHHHHHHHHHHH
tell me theres a logic out there
leading me to better prepare
for the day that something really special might come
tell me theres some hope for me
i don't want to be lonely
for the rest of my days on the earth
ah-AHHHHHHHHHHh
ah-AHHHHHHHHH
singin AH-AHHHHHHHHHHH
with my brain
why am I so obviously insane

This song is obviosly about a guy (like me) who likes a girl and is sure that the girl likes him back however (like me) he instead of makeing a move gets scared and choses to do nothing and is sad about it later that night.
I read an interview where Rivers said he was at a nightclub or bar and was conversing with a girl for a few hours, thought everything was great and couldnt close the deal...He then went home and wrote this on an acoustic....
Best song on the album.... hands down....
The intro rocks nicely.
Make believe is awesome to the max
Everyone can (or will someday) relate to this song. While I normally stick to the blue and pinkerton albums, this song is fantastic. they played it at a show in hartford, ct a few weeks ago and it was great.
i was there man! seat ss 505
i was there man! seat ss 505
while i was standing next to the love of my life who broke u with me two days before, the day before our 5 month anniversary. absolutely perfect.

this is a sad song basically talks about how he can never keep a girl because he's never good enough its sad
It's about a guy with no confidence. He never can get with the girls, even if its a sure thing. He has anxiety and always finds a way to mess it up. He wants to control it but he can't. Then he finally has a girl, he's protective as he feels if she meets other guys then she won't want him. Its part of his lack of confidence again. He thinks she doesn't like him because he can't satisfy her so he thinks she's going to leave him anyway. In the end he lets her go as he doesn't see himself fit to keep her. He asks himself if he has any hope, he doesn't want to be alone. He's tired of being alone. He can't stand it anymore, he's afraid of living a life without love.
one of the most relatable songs ever and i dont think thats a good thing
One of the more self explanatory songs on Make Believe. A guy likes this girl, and the girl senses that he does ("though I can't satisfy all the needs she has..."), but he fails to make a move, and just let her drift out there. Eventually, she "starts to wander." The dude then feels hopeless etcetera etcetera.
Damn, I can totally friggen relate. The girl I liked is so hot now! Shoulda made a move when I had the chance.
i think this song's gonna be Make Believe's second single
Wow this is a great song.. haha its my favorite song on the album. But im not a man! This completes the album of course. And who ever put the lyrics on ruined the song. is it possible to fix it!? The 30 sec. solo rocks then again. I think Rivers wants to be tree hugger.
