Lyrics

Perfect
I know it's not
Falls short
Of the great heights
It comes
As a small shock
To learn
I've done alright

I know it's not much
But it might be enough

It's thereabouts
Give or take
Don't ask me how
It doesn't break
It's not the best
I'm afraid
Still at its worst
It's OK

Perhaps
It's a different place
Than what
I had in mind
Perhaps
It's not what you seek
Instead
It's what you find

I know it's not much
But it might be enough

It's thereabouts
Give or take
Don't ask me how
It doesn't break
It's not the best
I'm afraid
Still at its worst
It's OK

This to-do list
Has got out of hand
I'm running late
I'm not thinking straight
There goes the plan
I sometimes need
A little more
Perspective
To help accept
That I am not
Superman

I'm lucky I guess
A sad happiness

It's thereabouts
Give or take
Don't ask me how
It doesn't break
It's not the best
I'm afraid
Still at its worst
It's OK

But
You know what
I'm OK
