It Isn’t Perfect But It Might Be

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, mm
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la

There's a lot of ground to cover
One foot and then the other
On my way, my way to somewhere new

A few false starts, can you forgive this
Cautious heart and just bear with it
While it does what I thought it couldn't do?

I could go back to the old place
And write your name on every blank page
But it's a story now, just a story now
It's the kind of thing that you'd say
You say no need to look behind me
That I can keep you here beside me
To make a mess of it, then make the best of it
It isn't perfect, but it might be

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, hm
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la

You dip your toe and then you paddle
All before you swim the channel
Thought I'd never make it, but I might

Oh, I could go back to the old place
And write your name on every blank page
But it's a story now, just a story now
It's the kind of thing that you'd say
You say no need to look behind me
That I can keep you here beside me
To make a mess of it, then make the best of it
It isn't perfect, but it might be

La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, mm (hm)

Treading lightly, thinking slightly
It just might be, it just might be
Treading lightly, thinking slightly
It just might be, it just might be
It just might be

Oh, I could go back to the old place
And write your name on every blank page
But it's a story now, just a story now
It's the kind of thing that you'd say
That there's no need to look behind me (yeah)
That I can keep you here beside me (yeah)
To make a mess of it, then make the best of it
It isn't perfect, but it might be there

(La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la) like it might be, yeah (mm)
Like it might be (la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la), ooh, ooh
Ooh
Might be, might be, might be
