Terrible/Perfect Lyrics
At the time it didn't seem like much
All the months and miles in between us
And it's terrible
I'm getting good at time
Save some space in your mind
I'm getting out of time
She reminds me of a lot of people
But she's someone that I've never seen
And she's perfect
I'm getting good at time
Save some space in your mind
I'm getting out of time
hmm it just seems he's wasted so much time, doing things other than being with the person he's talking about. he was bad at time before because they didn't spend any together and he didn't realize how precious it really is. now he's getting better because he's gonna come back soon and have those good times with her ohhhh yeaaayaahhh!!
so i screwed up a bit...upon further analysis he had this person at one time but he took it for granted and "it didn't seem like much" but it was acutally perfect as he lookds back now. time's bogging him down now and making him crazy, so he's going to escape it somehow, maybe take some nice hallucinagens who knows..but he's gonna get her back. "save a place in your mind" i KNOW you still remember me. yeya
I think he realizes she's not, nor was ever perfect, but reminds him alot of his unattainable perfect woman, so he wishes he hadn't taken the relationship for granted. The message is kind of similar to the on in High Fidelity. Although, perha
ps the problem was that at the time he didn't realize she was perfect for him. Either way, incredible song.
"Once in awhile there's this girl I don't know in my dreams She reminds me of a lot of people But she's someone that I've never seen And she's perfect"
Is such a wonderful line and he sings it so well.
that same line, "once in a while..." is in A Lie for a Lie, thought it was weird. guess it was so good they had to use it twice
