Select language to translate this lyric
When I was a little boy I used to sit and ponder
But now that I'm a full grown man, I'm simply left to wonder
Where did all the time go
It's passing with a flash
And soon enough I'll return to ash
All my life I've wanted nothing more than to make beauty
To conjure from the ether something that was passing through me
Something that is wonderful
And full of joyful song
'Cause sooner than later I'll be gone
I wanna write
the perfect song
A melody that never goes wrong; a CHOrus filled with triumph
And a bridge that fills the heart with longing
A song that everyone will sing
So I try, with every song, to write something of wonder
And even though I've struggled so, I haven't yet gone under
And every song I put to pen
Just might be that song
A song to which
you might singalong
I wanna write
the perfect song
A melody that never goes wrong; a CHOrus filled with triumph
And a bridge that fills the heart with longing
A song that everyone will sing
And here's the part
Where I fall apart
I don't know what to do
Every song I seem to write
Seems to pass right through you
I wanna write song that just can't be ignored
Ever more
I wanna write
the perfect song
A melody that never goes wrong; a CHOrus filled with triumph
And a bridge that fills the heart with longing
A song that everyone will sing
