Perfect Love lyrics

How can I tell you how I feel inside?
Will the truth drive you away?
Sometimes I look into your eyes and start to cry
'Cause we come so close, then we back away
Are we so afraid to surrender? Oh

We come so close to perfect love
What in the world are we so frightened of?
Why can't we gamble on desire?
Let the spark of love finally catch fire
So close to perfect love

You and I always walk a slender line
What is false? What is real?
We're not as fragile as we sometimes like to feel
We can spend our lives running all the time
Or we can make a stand together, oh

We come so close to perfect love
What in the world are we so frightened of?
Why can't we gamble on desire? Oh, baby
Let the spark of love finally catch fire
So close to perfect love

You can take off those white gloves
I know what you're dreaming of
You and I are running out of alibis
Let the spark of love finally catch fire

We come so close to perfect love
What in the world are we so frightened of?
Why can't we gamble on desire?
Can we gamble, baby?
Let the spark of love finally catch fire
So close to perfect love

So close, baby
So close to perfect love
So close, we come so close
We come so close, baby
We come so close to perfect love
Oh, what are we frightened of?
So close, we come so close
We come so close to perfect love
Oh, so close to perfect love
