I come alive 
Inside the light of the unexpected 
Maybe I thrive 
Outside the comfort zone 
What is a prize without a fight 
Yeah I got addicted 
To what I thought I wanted 
And all along

I've been walking asleep 
Dreaming awake 
Finding I bend but I don't break 
I'm almost the sinner 
Nearly insane 
Finding with every breath I take 
I'm not afraid 
Of making mistakes 
Sometimes it's wrong before it's right 
That's what you call a perfect life

Gathering thorns from the stems of a thousand roses 
Weathering storms on the long way home 
I look for the sweet in every bitter moment tasted 
In every last mistake I see the other side

I've been walking asleep 
Dreaming awake 
Finding I bend but I don't break 
I'm almost the sinner 
Nearly insane 
Finding with every breath I take 
I'm not afraid 
Of making mistakes 
Sometimes it's wrong before it's right
That's what you call a perfect
That's what you call a perfect 
That's what you call a perfect life

I've been walking asleep 
Dreaming awake 
Finding I bend but I don't break 
I'm almost the sinner 
Nearly insane 
Finding with every breath I take 
I'm not afraid 
Of making mistakes 
Sometimes it's wrong before it's right 
That's what you call a perfect 
That's what you call a perfect
That's what you call a perfect life
