Story Behind The Song
A combination of living under a control-freak parent and going to a narrow-minded art school. This is the story of an artist wanting to break out and speak her mind, let her own artistic voice be heard.
Song Description
Perfect all the Time is about questioning 'why do we have to be so perfect all the time' and learning to be happy being oneself without trying to please others.

Lyrics
Terrible disgust and the lovely thrill
Of how I feel
Is changing daily
I cannot grasp nor rehash
The scenario you deal
And you can't make me
Can't you perceive how you are perceived
By those around you
Look at the faces of those who receive
It will astound you
Ok, alright, you win
I didn't cover all my bases
But why do I have to be so perfect all the time
Ok, alright, you win
You covered all your bases
But why do you have to be so perfect all the time
You're driving me crazy with all your demands
Calling me daily wanting to know my plans
Why can't you be cool with what you do?
Why must you take oh so much from me just to be you?
Ok, alright, you win
I didn't cover all my bases
But why do I have to be so perfect all the time
Ok, alright, you win
You covered all your bases
But why do you have to be so perfect all the time
Why do we have to be
Why do we have to be
So perfect all the time?
Ok, alright, you win
I didn't cover all my bases
But why do I have to be so perfect all the time
Ok, alright, you win
You covered all your bases
But why do you have to be so perfect all the time
