Perfect
Amorosi Vanessa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't change a thing
Because you perfect
You sway
Gently in the breeze
In between my dreams
It kinda makes me nervous
Your storm
Is lighting striking down
It only strikes me once
But still be worth it
CHORUS
In my dreams you were perfect
When I woke up you were perfect
Love
As scaring as it is
Tell me is it real
If it ain't hurtin'
I break
When the sounding on your face
My colours bleed to one
Nothing grows when your love is gone
CHORUS
In my dreams you were perfect
When I woke up you were perfect
Mmm even when you run
You're still worth it
Here and now the moment's perfect
Perfect
So perfect
When you run
RUN, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah RUN!
Even in my dream, when I wake up
Perfect, yeah perfect
Baby, baby, baby,
Baby, baby, Yeah!
Yeah, yeah

Line by Line Meaning
Stay forever who you are
Don't change anything about yourself, remain true to who you are
Don't change a thing
Don't alter anything
Because you perfect
You are perfect the way you are
You sway
You move back and forth
Gently in the breeze
Smoothly being carried by the wind
In between my dreams
In the midst of my sleeping thoughts
It kinda makes me nervous
It causes me to feel uneasy
Your storm
The intense feelings you create
Is lightning striking down
It's powerful and electrifying
It only strikes me once
It happens only one time
But still be worth it
Nevertheless, it's still valuable
Love
The emotion that exists in a relationship
As scaring as it is
As frightening as it may seem
Tell me is it real
Can you confirm that it's genuine?
If it ain't hurtin'
If it's not causing pain
I break
I crumble
When the sounding on your face
When I hear the tone of your voice
My colours bleed to one
My emotions blend together
Nothing grows when your love is gone
No growth or progress can occur when the love is absent
Mmm even when you run
Even if you escape
You're still worth it
You're still valuable to me
Here and now the moment's perfect
At this time, everything is ideal
Perfect
Faultless
So perfect
Completely without fault
When you run
When you try to escape
RUN, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah RUN!
Escape, leave
Even in my dream, when I wake up
Even in my subconscious, when I become aware
Perfect, yeah perfect
Utterly flawless
Baby, baby, baby,
Term of endearment for a significant other
Baby, baby, Yeah!
Term of endearment for a significant other
Yeah, yeah
An expression of agreement or excitement

Flat out , the best female pop vocalist this country has ever produced. No one else comes remotely close.
@snozzlehead92
What about Olivia?
@kathrynpacis7298
SUCH an insanely underrated song.
@whipthedog
Definately the best Aussie female singer that never went overseas to further her career. She is brilliant live
@paulcusack2544
Since your post she's spent years in the US
@applausenu
@@paulcusack2544 The concept would be not 'making it' overseas. Not literally.
@transgender_is_a_lie
β@@applausenu her first song was popular internationally, the problem is Australiansdon't know anything about the world or themselves
@rouncer74
There are no words to describe just how great this ladyβs voice really is. Unbelievable range, warmth, depth and contrast. The greatest pop vocalist Australia has produced since Farnsy.
@troydboy1976
Vanessa Amorosi is one of the most under reated singers of all time, she always sings live writes her own songs and has a voice that makes chills down my spine..........
