The Perfect One
Embracing Imperfection: Longing for the Ideal
Lyrics
We can't go back
We cannot revisit the past.
Why would I want to
There's no desire to go back.
Let's do things that bleeding hearts do
Let's engage in actions typical of passionate or emotionally intense individuals.
Never speak a word that's untrue
A commitment to always speak the truth.
I don't want to be without you
Expressing a strong desire not to be separated from a significant other.
We can't go back
Reiteration of the impossibility of returning to the past.
Why would I want to
No inclination to dwell on the past.
Let's do things that bleeding hearts do
Advocating engaging in emotionally intense activities.
Never speak a word that's untrue
Emphasizing the importance of always being truthful.
Fuck the need for being careful
Disregard for the need to be cautious or restrained.
Everyone is waiting
Highlighting the anticipation of others.
Everyone is waiting
Repetition of the idea that everyone is waiting.
Everyone is waiting
Continued emphasis on the collective anticipation.
For the perfect one
Anticipation for an ideal or flawless individual.
To come along
Expectation for the arrival of the perfect person.
We can't go back
Reiteration of the inability to go back to the past.
Why would I want to
Reaffirmation of the lack of desire to revisit previous times.
Let's do things that bleeding hearts do
Encouraging engaging in emotionally intense behaviors.
Never speak a word that's untrue
Reaffirming the commitment to always speak the truth.
I don't want to be without you
Expressing a strong aversion to being without a significant other.
Everyone is waiting
Reiteration of the collective anticipation.
Everyone is waiting
Continued emphasis on the shared expectation.
Everyone is waiting
Repetition of the idea that everyone is waiting.
For the perfect one
Anticipation for the arrival of the perfect person.
Everyone is waiting
Repetition of the collective anticipation.
Everyone is waiting
Continued emphasis on the shared expectation.
Everyone is waiting
Repetition of the idea that everyone is waiting.
For the perfect one
Anticipation for the arrival of the perfect person.
To come along
Expectation for the emergence of the ideal individual.
