Lyrics:

CLOSER TO PERFECT

Verse 1
When we first met, I played hard to get
Like all the others, I kept my fair distance
I own my pickup truck, don’t need no assistance
Corral my heart, I’ll give you resistance

Chorus
But you offered me your heart
You’re awesome, sweet and smart
Now our love has a chance to start
Flowing, growing, closer
Closer to perfect

Verse 2
You changed my life, and turned me around
Every day with you, is way beyond compare
Magic as I watch you, just brush your hair
First time in my life, close to saying I care

Pre-Chorus
Getting closer, closer

Chorus
But you offered me your heart
You’re awesome, sweet and smart
Now our love has a chance to start
Flowing, growing, closer
Closer to perfect

Bridge (Instrumental – no lyrics)

Verse 3
I used to walk alone, shallow and incomplete
Couldn’t bare to lose you, I’d miss your heartbeat
I love to hold your hand, on a scary stormy night
Need to feel you tremble, when I hold you so tight

Pre-Chorus
Getting closer , closer

Chorus
But you offered me your heart
You’re awesome, sweet and smart
Now our love has a chance to start
Flowing, growing, closer
Closer to perfect

This song was written in 2022 submitted for review. I made some recommended changes. This song was produced using Suno Ai with specific instructions to cover songwriters demo exactly as to lyrics, melody, tempo, and chord structure. Suno Ai was used to professionally enhance vocals and instrumentation.This song is 100% human written melody and lyrics. Thanks for listening and your comments.
