Lyrics
High in the clouds, up on a hill You talk to the stars, they tell you to chill I try to tell you what everyone knows You're perfect in the way that you are If you stole all the colors that persist in the air Sold them to black without much of a care Drew on my art, bleeped every sound I'd thank you cause you left me my heart Compassion always set you apart You and I will always belong So give a little sing to your song Don't be sad or scared at all Even if you can't recall, you're perfect in the way that you are Perfect in the way that you are If you took a boat to the middle of sea And spent all my money seeking treasures for me But came up empty-handed every week after week I'd tell you that your love is still cheap That you are worth the trouble to keep You and I will always belong So give a little sing to your song Don't be sad or scared at all Even if you can't recall, you're perfect in the way that you are Perfect in the way that you are Even if you're slightly ajar Even if you're looking bizarre Even though you failed us so far You're perfect in the way that you are Even when you're coming apart Even when you're breaking my heart Even when you love a la carte [You're perfect in the way that you are] Perfect in the way that you are You're perfect in the way that you are Perfect in the way that you are
