Less Than Perfect - The Spook School

You say you wish that you had gone out more while you still had the chance

The ones you envy are kept up at night by parallel remarks

You’re arguing with no one when you say that it’s not fair

Don’t tell yourself to run ahead and, «I will meet you there»

You never said

You never said

You never thought you needed to

You never said

You never said

You know full well you need to

It’s alright now, not what you hoped, but that’s okay

Teenage hopes are never less than perfect, anyway

It’s alright now, not what you hoped, but that’s okay

Teenage hopes are never less than perfect, anyway

I hold my breath when you say you thought of me

Because I worry it reminds you more of who I’d like to be

But we’re made of puzzle pieces, and I hope that I am right

When I guess the parts you recognise could be the parts you like

I never said

I never said

I never thought I needed to

I never said

I never said

I know fair well I need to

It’s alright now, not what you hoped, but that’s okay

Teenage hopes are never less than perfect, anyway

It’s alright now, not what you hoped, but that’s okay

Teenage hopes are never less than perfect, anyway

You never said

You never said

You never thought you needed to

You never said

You never said

You know full well we need to

It’s alright now, not what you hoped, but that’s okay

Teenage hopes are never less than perfect, anyway

It’s alright now, not what you hoped, but that’s okay

Teenage hopes are never less than perfect, anyway

It’s alright now, not what you hoped, but that’s okay

Teenage hopes are never less than perfect, anyway

It’s alright now, not what you hoped, but that’s okay

Teenage hopes are never less than perfect, anyway
