    Default English speakers please help me understand a few words

    Hello everyone;

    I've been looking for the lyrics from the Shirley Bassey-ish song "Brilliance" from Laura Matisse forever. It's from a Schwarzkopf shampoo ad commercial and I'd love to have the full lyrics, but well...
    So I've tried writing them down by myself - the problem is, I'm no natural English speaker and there are about ten words in the song I absolutely can't understand.


    Lyrics I have so far:


    Laura Matisse - Brilliance


    Where is the goal that we seek
    Is it perfection
    Dangerous games that we play
    Tempting our fate
    What (?) a kiss if you miss
    Or the splendor of love
    Why wait

    (?) the twist and the turn
    Leading us nowhere
    Searching the world till we find
    We're meant to be

    Secrets you keep in your mind sending me spinning
    If you'd only (??)
    Deep inside there burns a passion
    That (?) a fashion
    Keep hidden away
    I won't hide there's no sense in existence
    If I don't keep insisting
    That I'll find a way
    To your heart

    Just out of reach I can feel
    We'll be together
    (?) my fantasy longs
    Soon to take flight
    Shimmering (?)
    Just like diamonds split the light
    Some day
    In brilliance (?)



    If you have the time to listen to the song and could tell me what words I'm missing (or maybe I misunderstood something and you could point that out if you like) you would do me a HUGE favor.

    You can listen to the song here (no need to download it, there's a player): http://www38.zippyshare.com/v/611758/file.html


    Thank you very, very much in advance!

    Default Corrected lyrics

    Laura Matisse - Brilliance


    Where is the goal that we seek
    Is it perfection
    Dangerous games that we play
    Tempting our fate
    What good's a kiss if you miss
    all the splendor of love
    Why wait

    Spirals that twist and that turn
    Leading us nowhere
    Searching the world till we find
    We're meant to be

    Secrets you keep in your mind sending me spinning
    If you'd only give off a key
    Deep inside there burns a passion
    That victims of fashion
    Keep hidden away
    I won't hide there's no sense in existing
    If I don't keep insisting
    That I'll find a way
    To your heart

    Just out of reach I can feel
    We'll be together
    Trapped though my fantasy longs
    Soon to take flight
    Shimmering souls set on fire
    Just like diamonds split the light
    Someday in brilliance for love
