Maren Ord - Perfect

came across on Joan of Arcadia.. an old favorite from at least 2004

Don’t close your eyes… they may not open.
What if they open? Would you be alive?

Everyone falls but not everyone rises.
Why don’t you get up, and rise again for me?

What if the world were a little more perfect?
Would you stop crying? Would you take the leap?
What if the world were a little more perfect?
Would you open your eyes, and blink again for me? for me… for me….

What about friendship? Yeah well what about friends?
You said the whole world was against you and it all had to end.
What about love? What about family?
What about all that you have to live for?

It isn’t easy here without you.
Why did you leave me?
What am I supposed to do without you?

What if the world were a little more perfect?
Would you stop crying? Would you take the leap?
Now what if the world were a little more perfect?
Would you open your eyes?
Yeah but what if the world were a little more perfect?
Would you stop crying? Would you take the leap?
Now what if the world were a little more perfect?
Would you open your eyes, and blink again for me? …

It’s funny to think that you followed the same path as me in one night, and ended up in the same place, 3 months after. And how much different our lifes must be.

Every once in a while I come back to this webpage, when I listen to this song in the middle of the night. I don’t know why, but i like this place.

Andre, I really appreciate that (and your previous comments). I’m quite at home here (this site), and it’s really, really nice to think that others find some comfort or happiness here as well. And I love good company. :)

I love this song. It’s so very pretty and what a great meaning.

I didn’t see it on the movie Crazy Beautiful.

There was a new movie on Lifetime called Homeless to Harvard that it played in the end on.

I heard it on a different movie then Crazy/beautiful. Crazy/beautiful was stupid compared to the movie I watched. It was called Homeless to Harvard. You should all watch it. =)
