Lyrics to Perfected Steps
Starting up
Your Chevrolet to packed crowds
Back in the heyday
Backfires, like the bravado
You did your best to downplay
Your mistakes are sitting centre stage
Just like you made them
The American way
All of your mistakes
Are sitting centre stage
Just like you made them
With only the seasons keeping time
Who do you wanna be there by your side?
Burning up beacon, casting light
Over the empty seats night after night
Solo, a dying star
Wants to dance over again
Perfected steps were so big back then
(Ain't nobody singing along)
Ain't nobody singing along
(Ain't no one remember that song)
No one remembers that song
Holding on to diminishing dawn
Laying down
All you do is clown around
In bed with your lady
Pair of die, roll 'em on a rent a night
Throw it all on layaway
Your mistakes are sitting centre stage
Just like you made them
The American way
All of your mistakes are sitting centre stage
Just like you made them
With only the seasons keeping time
Who do you wanna be there by your side?
Burning up beacon, casting light
Over the empty seats night after night
Solo, a dying star wants to dance over again
Perfected steps were so big back then
(Ain't nobody singing along)
Ain't nobody singing along
(Ain't no one remember that song)
No one remembers that song
Holding on to diminishing dawn
Solo, a dying star
Solo, a dying star wants to dance over again
Perfected steps were so big back then
(Ain't nobody singing along)
No one remembers that song
(Ain't no one remember that song)
Barely holding on (holding on) to diminishing dawn
Rollercoaster, coming down
Wonderland is hitting the ground
Letter Z, pocket size
You're winning but you don't realise
You arrive at the fight
Want a piece of me?
Come get your slice of life
There she is, paradise
You could stay a while but it wouldn't suffice
Yeah you know, she's real nice
By now you've been there too many times
You arrive at the fight
Want a piece of me?
In spite of yourself
Feel the pressure, but why?
Wanna be something?
Come get your slice of life
The more you want, the more you miss, the more you wish that you had it
But when it all falls down around you, will you see how it happened?
You arrive at the fight
(The more you want, the more you miss, the more you wish that you had it)
In spite of yourself
Feel the pressure, but why?
(But when it all falls down around you, will you see how it happened?)
Come get your slice of life
(The more you want, the more you miss, the more you wish that you had it)
In spite of yourself
Feel the pressure, but why?
(But when it all falls down around you, will you see how it happened?)
Barely holding on
(The more you want, the more you miss, the more you wish that you had it)
In spite of yourself
Feel the pressure, but why?
(But when it all falls down around you, will you see how it happened?)
(The more you want, the more you miss, the more you wish that you had it)
Your Chevrolet to packed crowds
