Intro
(Ooh...)
Oh...
Verse 1
She moves like a shadow through the violet light
A ghost in the static of the cold neon night
I reach for her outline but she fades in my hands
A dream made of smoke that I don't understand
Pre-Chorus
And I, I keep chasing the glow
Of a girl that I'll never know
Chorus
She's the perfect illusion in my head
The one that I love but I've never met
Dancing in the dark behind my eyes
A beautiful ache I can't leave behind
(I can't leave behind)
Verse 2
Midnight on the city and the rain comes down
I see her reflection in the puddles on the ground
She whispers my name but there's nobody there
Just the hum of the wires and the cold in the air
Pre-Chorus
And I, I keep chasing the glow
Of a girl that I'll never know
Chorus
She's the perfect illusion in my head
The one that I love but I've never met
Dancing in the dark behind my eyes
A beautiful ache I can't leave behind
(I can't leave behind)
Bridge
(Ooh)
Maybe she's a memory, maybe she's a lie
Maybe she's the loneliness I've kept inside
But I'd rather lose myself in this dream of her face
Than wake to a world that's an empty space
Chorus
She's the perfect illusion in my head
The one that I love but I've never met
Dancing in the dark behind my eyes
A beautiful ache I can't leave behind
(I can't leave behind)
Outro
(Ooh...)
She's the perfect illusion... in my head
(Oh...)
The one that I love... but I've never met
