Description
There's a special kind of effort - when everything inside revolves around a single gaze. Her hair is down, her dress was chosen not to her liking, but from memory of someone else's comment. Even the fear of heights ceases to be an argument if, suddenly, up there, beyond the clouds, you can prove that love is still worth the effort. Such tiresome, beautiful naivety – believing that if you become "perfect," someone will notice. And then realise: even perfection can be superfluous if it's not needed by the very person for whom all this was undertaken.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Ku tak pernah ikat rambutku lagi semenjak kaubilang
Rambutku indah bila terurai panjang
Baju hitamku tak pernah kusentuh lagi sejak hari itu
Kaubilang, "Warna gelap membosankan"
Kubaca sampai tuntas semua buku yang paling kausuka
Mungkin suatu saat kauanggapku cerdas
Tak kuhiraukan kata mereka, "Ini berlebihan"
Untukmu, apa pun akan kulakukan
Ingin sempurna di matamu
Hanya itu yang aku mau
Namun, tampaknya sempurna tak cukup
Bagimu, hm-mm
11.000 kilometer kutempuh sendirian
Bawa pelukku yang ternyata tak kaurindukan
36.000 kaki di atas laut kutahan
Kau tahu benar ku takut ketinggian
Ingin sempurna di matamu
Hanya itu yang aku mau
Namun, tampaknya sempurna tak cukup
Bila ternyata aku bukan yang kauperlu
Kubatalkan setiap janji
Hanya kar'na takut tiba-tiba kau butuh aku di sisimu
Ingin sempurna di matamu
Hanya itu yang aku mau
Namun, tampaknya sempurna tak cukup
Bagimu, hu-uh
Ingin sempurna di matamu
Ingin kaulihat aku lebih jauh
Ingin kautahu
Tiada yang sayangimu lebih dari aku
English translation
I haven't tied my hair since you told me
My hair is beautiful when it is long
I haven't touched my black shirt since that day
You said, "Dark colors are boring"
I read all the books you like the most
Maybe someday you'll think I'm smart
I don't care what they say, "This is too much"
For you, I will do anything
Want to be perfect in your eyes
That's all I want
However, it seems perfect is not enough
For you, hm-mm
I traveled 11,000 kilometers alone
Bring me a hug that apparently you don't miss
36,000 feet above the sea I hold
You know very well I'm afraid of heights
Want to be perfect in your eyes
That's all I want
However, it seems perfect is not enough
If it turns out I'm not the one you need
I cancel every promise
Just because you're afraid, suddenly you need me by your side
Want to be perfect in your eyes
That's all I want
However, it seems perfect is not enough
For you, hu-uh
Want to be perfect in your eyes
You want to see me further
Want you to know
No one loves you more than me
