Been dreaming with eyes open wide
Been searching for something that I'll never find
Wrap myself in the material
Leaves me so empty inside

Been drifting, the ocean so wide
Was stranded but then you came into my life
New love can promise eternity
But tomorrow's so far out of sight

In a perfect world
This would last forever

But it's not a perfect world
So we'll live for the moment, this moment, this moment is all that we have
In a perfect world

A second, a fragment in time
We capture the beauty as life passes by
Hold on to the magic in everything
It's gone in the blink of an eye

In a perfect world
This would last forever

But it's not a perfect world
So we'll live for the moment, this moment, this moment is all that we have
In a perfect world

We're made to be loved, not to be used
Sometimes it's things that we love and people we lose

In a perfect world, oh
This would last forever, oh

But it's not a perfect world
No, it's not a perfect world
So we'll live for the moment, this moment, this moment is all that we have
'Cause nothing else matters, what matters is now not the future or past
In a perfect world
