Perfectionist Lyrics
You're wonderful
you're good at everything you do
everyone is equal, but not as equal as you
You're the best
you're the best
and every town's got one like you
Just take a trip far away
where no one really cares about those things
and expose yourself to the pleasure and pain of this life
you can let down your guard tonight
Paranoid perfectionistic people
they can only put their very, very best foot forward
and as a result they're rather easy to detect
they'll be the only ones hopping down the streets of New York
and every town's got one like you
Just take a trip far away
where no one really cares about those things
and expose yourself to the pleasure and pain
if you're walking on the line
you'll never know what's on either side
you might be wrong or might be right
can't pass this up, you gotta give it a try
Just take a trip far away
where no one really cares about those things
and expose yourself to the pleasure and pain of this life
You can let down your guard
Just take a trip far away where no one really cares about those things
and expose yourself to the pleasure and pain
if you're walking on the line
you'll never know what's on either side
You might be wrong or might be right
so can't pass this up, gotta give it a try
you're good at everything you do
everyone is equal, but not as equal as you
you're the best
and every town's got one like you
where no one really cares about those things
and expose yourself to the pleasure and pain of this life
you can let down your guard tonight
they can only put their very, very best foot forward
and as a result they're rather easy to detect
they'll be the only ones hopping down the streets of New York
and every town's got one like you
where no one really cares about those things
and expose yourself to the pleasure and pain
if you're walking on the line
you'll never know what's on either side
you might be wrong or might be right
can't pass this up, you gotta give it a try
where no one really cares about those things
and expose yourself to the pleasure and pain of this life
You can let down your guard
and expose yourself to the pleasure and pain
if you're walking on the line
you'll never know what's on either side
You might be wrong or might be right
so can't pass this up, gotta give it a try

after listening to this song numerous times, I am virtually certain that these are the lyrics.. contrary to many other sites that post these lyrics. It seems to make a lot more sense this way. . but what do I know. . I'm just a perfectionist trying to get it right. :P
I'm pretty sure it's "pleasures and pain".
I know someone who's a hardcore perfectionist. Stays up until the wee hours of the morning trying to get it right, while neglecting opportunities to experience life - happiness with another person and so forth. It's really sad to watch.
I agree with the_untitled. And with every song that this guy writes, I want to know who was in his mind when he wrote them. I'd love to hear the connection one day.
awhh i love this song. he really admires and wants to be with this girl, woman, lady, whatever. but she is such cautious person he just wishes she could "lay down her guard" and be willing to experience the love and, possibly the pain. i mean, to be realistic, not many relationships are going to last forever. but if you aren't willing to risk the pain when it ends, you won't ever experience the beautiful love and connection either while it does last. and he just wishes she would be willing to do that for him.
