Perfect World
The Gossip Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh oh and I
I put a wish in
Made it my mission
To end the conflict
But oh
I put a wish in
Hoping you'd listen
By my accomplice
But ohhh

Relax, its only dreaming facts
Giving way to feelings
No one ever stays long
its over when you wake up
So I knew that it was
in the Picture perfect world
We can be more than before
I said it was
I made it stronger

From the beginning
My head was spinning
The perfect star
Oh a church
A place to fit in
A new religion
I found your heart
But oh oh

Relax, its only dreaming facts
Giving way to feelings
no one ever stays long
its over when you wake up
So I knew that it was
in the Picture perfect world
we can be more than before
I said it was
I made it stronger
In a Picture perfect world

In the Picture perfect world
we can be more than before
I said it was
I made it stronger

Dont get mad
You did your best
and now its
all in the past to stay
so I knew that it was
in the Picture perfect world
we can be more than before
I said it was
I made it stronger
in the Picture perfect world
we can be more than before




I said it was
I made it stronger

Oh, oh, and I
I put a wish in
Made it my mission
To end the conflict

But oh
I put a wish in
Hoping you'd listen
Be my accomplice
But ohhh

Relax, it's only dreaming facts
Giving way to feelings
No one ever stays long
It's over when you wake up
So I knew that it was

In the picture perfect world
We can be more than before
I said it was
I made it stronger

From the beginning
My head was spinning
The perfect star
Oh a church
A place to fit in
A new religion
I found your heart
But oh oh

Relax, it's only dreaming facts
Giving way to feelings
No one ever stays long
It's over when you wake up
So I knew that it was

In the picture perfect world
We can be more than before
I said it was
I made it stronger

In the picture perfect world
We can be more than before
I said it was
I made it stronger

Don't get mad
You did your best
And now it's
All in the past to stay
So I knew that it was

In the picture perfect world
We can be more than before
I said it was
I made it stronger
In the picture perfect world
We can be more than before
I said it was
I made it stronger

I was at her concert in 2012. Her voice is HUGE. So clear, pleasant and powerful. 50 times stronger live than on a record. This made me think about other performers.

@karamazigh

So true!

@jacobcantrell5640

Beth, since I was 12 you've made me stronger. Your sound, your words, your kindness. I look up to you, and you've shaped me more than most! Love you boo!

@bluestrife28

Beth’s voice came to me at a time I really needed it and this song still makes me cry by association. THANK YOU GOSSIP!!!!

@heike6030

Eine wundervolle Stimme, so klar und kräftig. Leider hört man in Deutschland nicht mehr viel von ihr. Find ich sehr schade

@TobaccoPS

This song was for me the final push to leave Jehovas Withnesses. The people made me feel really bad and i felt horrible allthe time. I dont know why, but this song really spoke to me. Thank you for this song! It changed my life <3

@ginjordom6065
