Video: 'Perfect World' by Gossip
Portland band Gossip steps into the church of pop rock for the anthem "Perfect World." It's a banger. Lyrics below.
"Oh oh oh and I
I put a wish in
Made it my mission
To end the conflict
But oh
I put a wish in
Hoping you'd listen
Be my accomplice
But oh
Relax
It's only dreaming
Facts
Giving way to feelings
No one ever stays long
It's over when you wake up
So I knew that it was
In the picture perfect world
We can be more than before
I said it was
I made it stronger
From the beginning
My head was spinning
The perfect star
Oh a church
A place to fit in
A new religion
I found your heart
Don't get mad
You did your best
And now it's
All in the past to stay"
