Perfect Lyrics
On another world
By another star
At another place in time
In another state of consciousness
In another state of mind
Everything was almost perfect
Everything fell into place
The jury reached a different verdict
Before the judge dismissed the case
In a parallel universe
It's happening right now
Things between us must be worse
But it's hard to see just how
And everything could have been perfect
Everything in the right place
And then I wouldn't have to play the suspect
Accused, abandoned and disgraced
I didn't shoot
I didn't pull the trigger
It wasn't me
I'm just a plain and simple sinner
I heard the sound
I turned my head around
To watch our love shot down
In another lonely universe
We're laying side by side
And no one's hurt
And no one's cursed
And no one needs to hide
And everything is almost perfect
Everything is almost right
There are never any conflicts
There are never any fights
By another star
At another place in time
In another state of consciousness
In another state of mind
Everything fell into place
The jury reached a different verdict
Before the judge dismissed the case
It's happening right now
Things between us must be worse
But it's hard to see just how
Everything in the right place
And then I wouldn't have to play the suspect
Accused, abandoned and disgraced
I didn't pull the trigger
It wasn't me
I'm just a plain and simple sinner
I heard the sound
I turned my head around
To watch our love shot down
We're laying side by side
And no one's hurt
And no one's cursed
And no one needs to hide
Everything is almost right
There are never any conflicts
There are never any fights

He believes that the relationship between him and the other person could be perfect, if the circumstances were different. He feels that they are right for each other, but something happened that drew them apart.
@sobot so true....

I think he's saying "plain and simple singer," but otherwise the lyrics look right. I really love this song - it's like he's trying to escape the events of his own plane by exploring different ones and what could be happening there.
i aggree with your correctness on the lyrics because thats the way I heard it, and i confirmed it by the lyric booklet...putting that in the words make the song more personal, a cool touch
We will never live in a perfect world; something will always fall short and ruin what could have made a "perfect" (universe). Best song on the album.
