I took a backseat a backhander
I took her back to her room
Better get back to the basics for you, oh yeah
You gotta conscience, compassion
You got a way with the word
You got a heart full of complacency too
(But it's not like that)
I don't have a purpose omission
I'm empty by definition
I got a lack girl that you'd love to be
(Opportunity)

Apart from everyone
Away from your life
A part of me belongs
Apart from all of the hurt above

I got a perfect way to make a new proposition
I got a perfect way to make a justification
I got a perfect way to make a certain a maybe
I got a perfect way to make the girls go crazy

I took a day job, amendment
I took a liking to you
I took a page out of my rulebook for you
You want a message, a confession
You wanna martyr me too
You want a margin of error for two
(But it's not like that)
Maybe tomorrow, the next letter
Or when the weather gets better
I gotta wait here for your moon to turn blue
I made an offer, an exception
I made a sense out of you
You took a good look at your book and I knew
(Up until the day)

In times of tenderness, and tears baby so true
Until such time as I can understand the things you do

I got a perfect way to make a new proposition
I got a perfect way to make a justification
I got a perfect way to make a certain a maybe
I got a perfect way to make the girls go crazy

---- Instrumental Interlude ----

Want to forgive you for the things that you do
Wanna forget how to remember with you
Maybe tomorrow, the next letter
Or when the weather gets better
I gotta wait here for your moon to turn blue
(Opportunity)

Apart from everyone
Away from your life
A part of me belongs
Apart from all of the hurt above

I got a perfect way to make a new proposition
I got a perfect way to make a justification
This is a perfect way to make a certain a maybe
This is a perfect way to make the girls go crazy
A perfect way, perfect way
I've got a perfect way, a perfect way
I've got a perfect way
I've got a perfect way
A new proposition
I've got a perfect way
A justification
