Perfect Day

come outside into the warm september
come outside into the warm september
i'm in like when i'm with you
in brand new thoughts i know you've never seen

when this sun's gone will you still remember
its haunted shine miles away

now here's a throwback line from a summer night
i saved for you
if i devote my ways, i might overstay
the life we share
love, i'm not scared
but i don't know why

now you could be right but i might be wrong
so wait for me
and wind me down and around we go
i'm on my own
but you're on your way
and i'm by your side

the way you're hanging on
you'll be okay today
hey, ride these waves
tonight you're safe

and i know what i've got is all you wanted
i know what you want is all i need
oh, i know you

and i know the trap door's open in the bedroom
i know you'll pack your things and never go
you'll choose the careless heart i won't surrender
i know you

the way you're hanging on
you'll be okay today
hey, ride these waves
tonight you're safe

no, don't wait inside and waste today
save up your life and waste away today

i know the road ahead of us
it's just the empty ash down a dead end street
and i've got a brush fire for your kerosene
