The Perfect World Lyrics

I listen to music to know that I am not alone
I read books to know that I am not alone

I look at you and I see I am not alone
When I reach out to you it feels like coming home

I'm coming to a perfect world with you
I'm waiting for the moment with you, hey hey hey hey

Over my head, really Never felt like this before, maybe
Can't say the reason, clearly The rhythym beats me,
You know that feeling, feeling, feeling
You know that feeling, feeling, feeling
You know that feeling, feeling, feeling You know that feeling

I listen to music to know that I am not alone
And when I touch you, I find we're not the only ones

I'm coming to a perfect world with you
I'm waiting for the moment with you, hey hey hey hey

Over my head, really Never felt like this before, maybe
Can't say the reason, clearly The rhythym beats me,
You know that feeling, feeling, feeling
You know that feeling, feeling, feeling
You know that feeling, feeling, feeling You know that feeling

The perfect world is hard to reach The perfect world makes us happy
Get going to get the groove Get going to catch your move

Overhead, over my head, really Never felt like this before, maybe
Can't say the reason, clearly The rhythym beats me,
You know that feeling, feeling, feeling
You know that feeling, feeling, feeling
You know that feeling, feeling, feeling
You know that feeling

I listen to music to know that I am not alone
I read books to know that I am not alone

I look at you and I see I am not alone
When I reach out to you it feels like coming home

I'm coming to a perfect world with you
I'm waiting for the moment with you, hey hey hey hey

Over my head, really   Never felt like this before, maybe
Can't say the reason, clearly   The rhythym beats me,
You know that feeling, feeling, feeling
You know that feeling, feeling, feeling
You know that feeling, feeling, feeling   You know that feeling

I listen to music to know that I am not alone
And when I touch you, I find we're not the only ones

I'm coming to a perfect world with you
I'm waiting for the moment with you, hey hey hey hey

Over my head, really   Never felt like this before, maybe
Can't say the reason, clearly   The rhythym beats me,
You know that feeling, feeling, feeling
You know that feeling, feeling, feeling
You know that feeling, feeling, feeling   You know that feeling

The perfect world is hard to reach   The perfect world makes us happy
Get going to get the groove   Get going to catch your move

Overhead, over my head, really   Never felt like this before, maybe
Can't say the reason, clearly   The rhythym beats me,
You know that feeling, feeling, feeling
You know that feeling, feeling, feeling
You know that feeling, feeling, feeling
You know that feeling

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
