Perfect Words Songtext
von Outasight

She takes a look in the mirror but can′t recognize who's staring back
Couple years, bad luck, with more down
Than ups like the glass had cracked
Bright lights in the city, what a pity that I don′t recall your name
And every single time we think we overcame
The clouds come around and it falls some rain

I mumble out the words, jumbled inside my head
This time to make things better, but they get worse instead
When you're left to fight some things, they never end
We'll do this again

You′ll say what I am, I′ll say what I'm not
You know I′m no good when it's on the spot
I′ve looked everywhere to find the perfect words
You'll say what I am, I′ll say what I'm not
You know I'm no good when it′s on the spot
I′ve looked everywhere to find the perfect words


Take one look in the rearview and can't recognize what′s staring back
If the past is the past, I can't hang from that, so cut me some slack
And it′s easier to talk than get up
And walk, so we sit around and wait
For the words to come up that might inspire
Us to stop fucking up and change our fate

I mumble out the words, jumbled inside my head
You're looking for answers, I′m looking for a bed
I'm going to sleep this one away and come back in the AM
We'll do this again

You′ll say what I am, I′ll say what I'm not
You know I′m no good when it's on the spot
I′ve looked everywhere to find the perfect words
You'll say what I am, I′ll say what I'm not
You know I'm no good when it′s on the spot
I′ve looked everywhere to find the perfect words

At the corner store, the liquor store, or around the block
Going downtown, or at the mall, or the checkout stop
I search far and wide to try and find the little things that I can say
Back to you to make everyone's day


You′ll say what I am, I'll say what I′m not
You know I'm no good when it′s on the spot
I've looked everywhere to find the perfect words
You'll say what I am, I′ll say what I′m not
You know I'm no good when it′s on the spot
I've looked everywhere to find the perfect words
