[Verso 1]
Perfect
I'll be the one that you've been searching for
I'll ditch the car and get you at the door
Ensure my words have not been said before
And I'll give
You everything but only show one side
Ever adventuring a shining light
The positivity that's in your life
[Pre Coro]
But I can't keep pretending I'm somebody
When I can get knocked out by everyone
[Coro]
And you'll forget it when you're closer
When we get closer
You'll slowly get over, over me
So don't get closer
[Verso 2]
Oh maybe I'll
Still be the Romeo that puts love first
But words become cliqued and sound rehearsed
I'll be a million miles away
[Pre Coro]
But I can't keep pretending I'm somebody
When I can get knocked out by everyone
[Coro]
And you'll forget it when you're closer
When we get closer
You'll slowly get over, over me
And as we get older
As we grow older
You'll know that from afar is the best place to be with me
So don't get closer
[Verso 3]
Oh darling don't
Don't hold my hand so close
Oh darling don't
Don't hold my hand so close
[Pre Coro]
But I can't keep pretending
No I can't keep pretending
No I can't keep pretending I'm someone
[Coro]
And you'll forget it when you're closer
When we get closer
You'll slowly get over, over me
And as we get older
As we grow older
You'll know that from afar is the best place to be with me
So don't get closer
