Perfect World
Strange Celebrity Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All alone the ballerina dances before my eyes
She turns her head away but as the music plays she cries
If only I could make her see this prison that is keeping me
Outside
In her perfect world
She could show me how

Find my way to love
Find my way to love
I'll walk a thousand miles
Under starless skies
Till I find my way to love
In between these walls that
Cage me in I feel her breath

Her sadness enters me
As I watch the winter leaves fall on her dress
The vision in my mind's so real
I still can't conceal my emptiness
In her perfect world
She would show me how

Find my way to love
Find my way to love
I'll walk a thousand miles
Under starless skies
Till I find my way to love




In between these walls that
Cage me in I feel her breath
