Lyrics
I don’t want to be perfect
I don’t think it was meant to be
I just want to love somebody
It might have to start with me
We can start a revolution
Of the heart
I kind of want you to like me
But I don’t want to be your dog
Sometimes I want to be happy
And I don’t write a happy song
It’s a trick of perception
The way the meaning slips away
And your left with a heart beat
And it’s only a breath away
I don’t want to be perfect
I don’t think it was meant to be
I just want to love somebody
It might have to start with me
We can start a revolution
Of the heart
