From the recording This Nowhere EP
The studio version of "A Perfect Machine"!
Lyrics
The day I left you behind
Is still a scar on my mind
A mark I won't forget
If I convince you to stay
Would we start paving the way
To nice mistakes we won't regret
She said
You left a lot undone
The world won't stop for anyone
Take me away
Before we run out of time
This time
I just don't work without you
You just don't work without me
We'll come together
Like a perfect machine
And we'll keep on running
Strain the system
We'll run until we both fall apart
Then we'll pick up all the pieces
They all amount to something
Better than it was from the start
You and me
A perfect machine
A perfect machine
I keep confusing my words
You know I'm no good at this
I'm not sure what I need to say
I just can't maintain this way
I've got to figure it out
Why things break down when you're away
She said
Hey what are you thinking
Leaving me here while I'm shaking
I've got some things I need to get out
You drive the demons from me
You help to keep me clean
We fit together
Like a perfect machine
And we'll keep on running
Strain the system
We'll run until we both fall apart
Then we'll pick up all the pieces
They all amount to something
Better than it was from the start
You and me
A perfect machine
A perfect machine
With precision fit
Always running clean
All of us are dying
Might be the only thing that's true
So I won't waste my time
My time with you
My time with you
