Perfection
Late Nite Reading Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This time around
No resign, no doubt
I won't push you
Listen closely, 'cause this ones for you

The reason I am falling down
Is because what comes around, it goes around
(chorus)
Perfection is not a requirement
Perfection wasn't even in the arguement
Perfection is not for me
Perfection is not the way I'll be

I think you know
I'm careful, not slow
Maybe you'll see
The end result for you and me

The reason I am falling down
The reason I am falling down

The reason I am falling down

Is because what comes aroud, it goes around

(chorus)

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

The reason I am falling down
The reason I am falling down
The reason I am falling down

Is because what comes around, it goes around





(chorus)
