Perfect Time

Can't rely on time, to change the way you feel.

'Cause time it often loses track of who it's gotta heal.

And you can read my palm and tell me that my future looks strong.

And I will play along.

Better that than to wait to prove you wrong.

'Cause it's another overcast day, like it's been for weeks.

And I will blame feeling down on the weather if I had no other reason to be.

People let you down when you least expect them to.

And hearts they move around so fast

and love it somehow gets renewed.

And my state of mind is hiding in the shadow you left behind.

And this song is playing in my head

as you walk away in perfect time.

And you and I are just saving hope

in pockets and up sleeves.

For rainy days when you need it the most, rainy days like these

And my state of mind is hiding in the shadow you left behind.

And this song is playing in my head

as you walk away in perfect time.

But you can't rely on time

to change the way you feel

cause time it often loses track

of who it's gotta heal.

And my state of mind is hiding in the shadow you left behind.

And this song is playing in my head

as you walk away in perfect time.
