about

A song about not giving up. Because in the end, the only way to be an artist is to be an artist.

PERFECT THINGS

lyrics

What if you can’t hold on?
Some dreams take so long
and if you’re plans unravel?
You’ll be much safer
sooner or later
if you take a road more traveled

As your heart sinks
I hope your head thinks twice
cause safe is never nice
It has it’s price
as all the perfect things your life could bring
just fade away, away

You spend all your long days
counting the wrong ways
to join the rich and famous
and save all your hard nights
for colored spot lights
on empty Wednesday stages.

Till there you are
Star of the marquees
but fame is never free
You’ll see, you’ll see
as all the perfect things your life could bring
just fade away, away

So pay no mind to the doubting kind
who love to sing their sad refrain
They revel in what might have been
and hope that you would do the same

Now I can’t guarantee
that you won’t take some scars or
wake up next to movie stars
But keep the faith and if you’ve made up your mind
then all the hurtful things your life could bring just
fade away, away.
