NateWantsToBattle - Perfect By Design Lyrics






Unplug the clock, I'm running out of time
I'm tired of everything that I called mine
I'm sick of trying to find a word that works
An ocean filled with photographs and names
I hang them on my wall without a frame
A million strangers walking past and stare
I swear I'm running fast but go nowhere

Can you rip the stitches one by one
I'll wake you up and let you know it's done
You can hide but you know you can't run
Time and time again we fall in line
Cookie cutter houses all aligned
Everything is perfect by design
So why can't I escape from my own mind?

Patiently awaiting something new
Something that won't remind me of you
Open up the door I'm leaving soon
The corners of my mind are closing in
Rip away defenses wearing thin
If it ends then where do I begin?
How did this get underneath my skin?

Let me know when it's all said and done
Let me know when it's all said and done
Let me know when it's all said and done
Let me know when it's all said and done

    "Can you rip the stiches one by one" gets me every time, i swear i love it

  3. C.... E....

    the guitar interlude is so hype compared to the rest of the song

  4. A.... F....

    One of the few songs that keeps my heart beating thx

  5. C.... C....

    It's never often i can find a song that I can relate to every word or, it's beautiful Nate

  6. X.... ....

    the intro sounds like your still alive cover

  7. L.... ....

    I'm playing this song for a solo with me luck

  8. D.... C....

    When Amalee(I keep wanting to read it as Amylee) started singing I felt and still feel... something but nothing. I don’t feel numb but I slightly do. I don’t know if this is a feeling normal people get but, like it’s... I like it but I don’t, I’m not confused but I am. I don’t know what this is...

    (Edit) and now I’m getting chills. I feel cold. I feel like I might cry.

    (E) I’m binging on my playlist called “Feeling Nothing”.

  9. H.... L....

    I fall asleep to this on Repeat.. so does my Brother

  10. H.... M....

    Stumbled back to this song and Im instantly in love again 💙

  11. F.... P....

    I love hearing your voice with AmaLee's!!! They're perfect together!!! This is such an amazing song!!!

  12. K.... ....

  13. S.... A....

    this is one of the most epic songs I've ever heard. it gave me goose bumps

  14. M.... Z....

    Is it bad if I know that Nate and Christina are together but i still ship Nate and Ama? I feel dumb but eh

  18. W.... R....

    I ship Nathan and Amanda together, Idk why..

  19. W.... A....

    Are we going to ship Nate x Amalee now?

  20. r.... w....

    honestly i kinda ship this

  21. X.... Y....

    This is honestly one of my favorite songs on the album, the switch from the calm to the heavy style was absolutely beautiful. I want more songs like this and definitely more of you and Amalee.

  22. T.... ....

    Beautiful, calm, and deep. Something the world needs. Also, do more songs with AmaLee, your voices both blend BEAUTIFULLY!!

  23. V.... S....

    The beginning of this song and the beginning of Paramore's "Playing God" are quite similar. Hmmmmmmm

  24. D.... M....

    dude great song. heard it for the first time today and have been listening to it on repeat ever since. keep up the good work you guys 🖒

  25. d.... ....

    Temazo 🎵

  26. E.... D....

    No creo ser el único latino en escucharlo, Nate... desde Nightmare te he seguido y amo tus obras de arte como está. 🖤

  27. D.... ....

    Love the song and artwork.

  28. P.... ....

    The guitars at 3:00 remind me of Roads Untraveled by Linkin Park.

  29. K.... X....

    You could say this pairing is "Perfect by Design"
    YEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!!!!
    Seriously, your voices are perfect together.
    What did you think I was talking about?

  30. A.... T....

    Very satisfying to pause at 2:04

  31. J.... P....

    1:18 0__0

  32. C.... L....

    I wanna sit here and analyze the symbolism in this all day

  33. b.... ....

    this song sucks weiner

  34. M.... C....

    This is one of your best songs. It is so different from all your other ones. A really beautiful song.
    I hope we get another album from you with even more songs!

  35. T.... B....

    top-tier collaboration

  36. G.... ....

    😍😍😍😍

  37. �.... ....

    This was exc3llent

  39. M.... D....

    so happy u guys have met my favorite musicians on youtube!!

    XD

  40. W.... ....

    This needs to be part of the Life is Strange soundtrack!

  41. Y.... b....

    all I have to say is ... WHERE CAN I BUY THIS ALBUM

    Y.... b....

    If that's a real question, it's on Google Play, iTunes, Amazon, and Spotify.

  42. K.... ....

    I have finally figured out why i like nate so much! he has this green day style to him that i just love

  43. K.... ....

    This is one of only two songs in the world that can make me absolutely melt in tears. People say crying is bad, that you should always be happy, but... sometimes you need to cry.

  44. S.... ....

    Why is Nate doing All Time Low better than All Time Low?

  45. S.... M....

    Who else thinks that amalee and Nate should be a couple

  46. Y.... ....

    wow! its been awhile since I listened to a song by you nate and to hear your own written songs is amazing!!! your voice goes well with amalee's voice so well...

  47. I.... m....

    This song is so beautiful

  48. L.... ....

    <3 perfect

  49. A.... S....

    I get a real life is strange vibe from this!

  50. P.... H....

    AmaLee?

    I cook an egg with a spoon

  51. T.... T....

    Why does this song somehow remind me of 'California' by Blink-182?

  52. G.... M....

    I miss the old Nate lol

    G.... M....

    Oh no, the hipsters are coming. I thought I had found safety, but no... 😥

  53. c.... ....

    me : no electric guitar? still awsome!/
    me: *after **2:13* there it is!

  54. L.... A....

    2:01 I Jizzed in my pants...So good.

  55. A.... D....

    This is my favorite song of yours so far. I absolutely adore it. I will remember you.

  56. B.... M....

    Is it just me or is nates voice perfect by design

  57. R.... ....

    This song is utterly haunting.

  58. A.... D....

    I'm getting a mix of Linkin Park and Paramore and I love it.

  59. J.... A....

    "So why can't I escape from my own mind?" Relatable af.

  60. L.... K....

    Perfect by design ❤
    Unplug the clock im running out of time
    Im tired of everything that i called mine
    Im sick of trying to find a word that works
    An ocean filled with photographs and names
    Hang them on a wall without a frame
    A million strangets walking past and stare
    I swear im running fast but go nowhere
    Can you rip the stiches one by one
    Ill wake you uo and let you know its done
    You can hide but you know you cant run
    Time and time again we fall inline
    Cookie cutter houses all aligned
    Everything is perfect by design
    So why cant i escaoe from my own mind
    Patiently awaiting something new
    Something that wont remind me of you
    Open up the door im leaving soon
    The corners of my mind are closing in
    Rip away defenses wearing thin
    If it ends then where do i begin
    How did this get underneath my skin
    Let me know when its all set and done x4
    °The end°

  61. P.... A....

    The Giver. Best book and best song

  62. G.... T....

    The intro was way too long and slow.

  63. p.... g....

    this hit me hard

  64. L.... C....

    More collaborations with Amalee please. You guys should cover RWBY's "Like Morning Follows Night"

  65. N.... I....

    this is like, calm but at the same time there is rock music🤓😂🖒

  66. S.... l....

    man. i love Nate so much. he has grown so much. When i first discovered him i was like 10. im 14 now. he has achieved ALLOT more than i ever could.

  67. E.... ....

    This is the song I listen to every night before I go to bed.

  68. R.... ....

  73. C.... O....

    Anyone have tabs for this? It's grown to be a favorite of mine and I'd love to try learning!

  74. G.... Y....

    Make a 1 hour version of this

  75. J.... R....

    The beginning kinda sounds like Playing God by Paramore

  76. T.... -....

    If you could give this song one word to mark it's theme... I'll thank you. I'm working on something, and I want to see what I could match this song to. It's also awesome. If it turns out one of the words to describe it matches, I'll give my oath to subscribe.
    May do that anyways.

    T.... -....

    Let me correct that, try to give me five different words on what you think this song's theme is. Don't have to give me five, just keep it below or around five.

  77. G.... ....

    Nate + Amanda = A perfect song. That's all I have to say.

  78. e.... r....

    every time I'm feeling down I always go to this song. it gets me through the day. thank you Nate

  79. p.... m....

    Nate: Can you rip the stiches one by one?
    Me: No! Kids never rip stiches one by one! *laughing too hard that I might fall off the chair*

  90. S.... G....

    When I first heard this song, I didn't like it. But now it's growing on me... Enough for me to keep replaying it and to mumble a few lyrics randomly throughout my day. Amazing song, Nate!!!
