I come alive inside the light of the unexpected
Maybe I thrive outside the comfort zone
What is a prize without a fight? Yeah, I got addicted
To what I thought I wanted and all along
I've been walkin' asleep, dreamin' awake
Findin' I bend, but I don't break
I'm almost a sinner, nearly a saint
Findin' with every breath I take
I'm not afraid of makin' mistakes
Sometimes it's wrong before it's right
That's what you call a perfect life
Gathering thorns from the stems of a thousand roses
Weathering storms on the long way home
I look for the sweet in every bitter moment tasted
In every last mistake, I see the other side
I've been walkin' asleep, dreamin' awake
Findin' I bend, but I don't break
I'm almost a sinner, nearly a saint
Findin' with every breath I take
I'm not afraid of makin' mistakes
Sometimes it's wrong before it's right
That's what you call a perfect-
That's what you call a perfect-
That's what you call a perfect life
I've been walkin' asleep, dreamin' awake
Findin' I bend, but I don't break
I'm almost a sinner, nearly a saint
Findin' with every breath I take
I'm not afraid of makin' mistakes
Sometimes it's wrong before it's right
And that's what you call a perfect-
That's what you call a perfect-
And that's what you call a perfect life
