[Verse 1] She held my hand on the first date Made my heart flutter with her smile Her laugh was like music Her scent hung on my clothes We fed the pigeons in the park I walked her home before the dark And I thought, this is it I thought, she's staying a while [Pre-Chorus] Then the week went quiet My phone stayed still I replayed every second Trying to understand Was it too much talking? Was I moving too fast? I had her in my arms And it never came to pass [Chorus] It was a perfect date Perfect date, perfect date (perfect date) Then she slipped away Tell me what I did It was a perfect date Perfect date, perfect date (perfect date) So why'd she never call Was it something I did? [Verse 2] I still see that bench by the pond The fries we split, the birds we fed Your fingers traced my palm Like you might stay around I wore that same shirt again Like it could bring you back Now every small good moment Feels like a missing track [Pre-Chorus] Then the week went quiet My phone stayed still I replayed every second Trying to understand Was it too much talking? Was I moving too fast? I had her in my arms And it never came to pass [Chorus] It was a perfect date Perfect date, perfect date (perfect date) Then she slipped away Tell me what I did It was a perfect date Perfect date, perfect date (perfect date) So why'd she never call Was it something I did? [Bridge] Maybe I laughed too loud Maybe I looked too hard Maybe I built a future In one small park If I knew the answer I'd take it back tonight But all I got are pigeons And one goodnight [Final Chorus] It was a perfect date Perfect date, perfect date (perfect date) Then she slipped away Tell me what I did It was a perfect date Perfect date, perfect date (perfect date) So why'd she never call Was it something I did? It was a perfect date Perfect date, perfect date (perfect date) I keep hearing your laugh But the phone kept quiet
