This time I think it could be perfect
But you're pushing away
I came here today with a purpose
Should I try or just let it go?
'cause these things I'd like to ask you
Are things I can't explain
Or should I keep your plans outside the porch last Saturday?
Should I have succumbed to your courtesy?
I could see you were trying to get my attention
But I pushed it away
This time I think it could be perfect
But you're pushing away
This time I think it could be perfect
But you're pushing away
But tonight it seemed suddenly perfect
Still no promises made
The balance of power has shifted
Were you trying to let me in?
Or was I trying so hard
That all of my confidence was lost tonight?
Confused and regretful, I cracked
Swallowed it back, and left with no spine intact
Should I have succumbed to your courtesy?
I could see you were trying to get my attention
But I pushed it away
This time I think it could be perfect
But you're pushing away
This time I think it could be perfect
But you're pushing away
This time I think it could be perfect
But you're pushing away
This time I think it could be
Maybe we were meant
To see what's right
She held a sort of it
Just a taste of life
To see what's right
To make sense out of it
What a shame that we're slipping away now (away now)
Going away now
To see what's out there
'cause you're all that's here for me
This time I think it could be perfect
But you're pushing away
This time I think it could be perfect
You're all that's here for me
This time I think it could be perfect
But you're pushing away
This time I think it could be perfect
You're all that's here for me
But you're pushing away
I came here today with a purpose

i absolutly love this song! it's got such a real kinda meaning...something that happens alot in lots of people's lives....i absoulutly adore midtown..they are a kick ass band!
nice lyrics...i can relate.
I am a huge midtown fan, but this song just doesnt fit in with the music that Midtown represents. Perfect is too cliched, too produced, and too lame. The only Midtown song I dont like (and its really hard for me to say that!).
this is one of my favorite midtown songs. its kinda a different sound for them...but i love the lyrics and can relate the situation there singin about
this song's all like, simple plan style. emo-pop. but its still good...coincedence, simple plan has a song called perfect...but this one's way better
this song is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo me
I could picture this a song played a high school by a local band..its awesome
i dig this song man...like you guys all ready said, it's something a lot of people (including myself) have gone through or will probably go through somewhere in the future. i dig it thumbs up
This is an amazing song. I listen to it every day. I can really relate to it..
This song reminds me of how stupid I was to not see how much I cared for this girl. And now we've reversed rolls and I'm the one being pushed away. Things were so close to being perfect. This song is one of Midtowns many great songs.
