[Intro]
Oohhh
Yeah, yeah
If they ever asked me my views on perfection
I think I finally got the answer
[Verse 1]
If ever someone had to ask me
My views on perfection
I’d say it’s an imaginary place
Somewhere we mentally have control
A place where happiness is a choice
And not just a feeling
We hope to feel sometime during the day
And if they ever truly asked me
What perfection really means
I’d say it’s accepting imperfections
The way they were designed
To mimic perfection
In that specific moment in time
[Pre-Chorus]
As kids we learned definitions
But they told us perfect don’t exist
“Not everything’s gonna be perfect”
“There’s no such thing as the perfect person”
But maybe they were wrong
[Chorus]
‘Cause the imperfect anatomy of our love
Is what makes it perfect for us
Somehow inside this organized chaos
We still find peace
And it’s a perfect feeling
When you run your fingers through my undone hair
That’s what you bring
Perfection
Peace
Purpose
[Verse 2]
You made me realize
We reflect perfection
Not by modern standards
But by our own
And what feels imperfect to us
Inside this relationship
Is probably everything
Somebody else is praying for
Even if it’s just somebody to argue with
Somebody to hold onto
Somebody to love through anger
And still choose tenderness
[Pre-Chorus]
We take for granted
That we have the ability to love
Pouring versions of ourselves into each other
Trying to fill each other’s cups
So love can keep flowing
[Chorus]
And the imperfect anatomy of our love
Is what makes it perfect for us
Inside this orbit of organized chaos
You still feel like peace
And it’s a perfect feeling
When you run your fingers through my undone hair
That’s what you bring
Perfection
Peace
Purpose
[Bridge – high notes]
And one day
When we wake up
With all our imperfect little creations beside us
I hope you look at me
And sayyyyy
“This is truly a perfect moment”
Oooohhhhh
A perfect moment
Yeahhhhhh
[Outro]
Thank you for teaching me
To accept, acknowledge, and appreciate
This imperfect little foundation
We’re slowly turning
Into our own orbit of perfection
And I look forward
To every imperfect little moment
Because I get to live them with you
Oohhh
With you
