Perfect Wonder
from Perfect Wonder by Night Hikes
about
“Perfect Wonder” is the first single from our EP of the same name. It is a reflection on the longing for connection that creates the fabric of our world. Beneath the distraction and anxiety and expectation of our mental life, there is this vulnerable, precious desire to be completely known—to be seen in this way that takes your breath away. When we let ourselves go to that place, it’s a step into this perfect state of wonder that feels like a true homecoming.
lyrics
Slow down and know the subtlety
Away from past anxiety
No doubt in our discovery
An endless world uncovering
Sit back and paint the sky with me
Take in a breath of evergreen
Relax into the energy
Of being where you’re meant to be
Nothing can buy what we’ve got
When I can barely breathe
Nothing can buy what we’ve got
It’s a part of the mystery
Somewhere beyond the way that I feel
Deep in the essence of what is real
You’ll find me there in perfect wonder
While I dream of how I got to you
And when the present washes away
I let tomorrow make it okay
Somehow I know it’s all worth waiting for
And I’m inclined to stay and see
Nothing can buy what we’ve got
When I can barely breathe
Nothing can buy what we’ve got
It’s a part of the mystery
Away from past anxiety
No doubt in our discovery
An endless world uncovering
Sit back and paint the sky with me
Take in a breath of evergreen
Relax into the energy
Of being where you’re meant to be
Nothing can buy what we’ve got
When I can barely breathe
Nothing can buy what we’ve got
It’s a part of the mystery
Somewhere beyond the way that I feel
Deep in the essence of what is real
You’ll find me there in perfect wonder
While I dream of how I got to you
And when the present washes away
I let tomorrow make it okay
Somehow I know it’s all worth waiting for
And I’m inclined to stay and see
Nothing can buy what we’ve got
When I can barely breathe
Nothing can buy what we’ve got
It’s a part of the mystery
