Perfect Match
Dev攀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or who you believe to be
But I, I like what I see
And you don't gotta be on movie screens
Cause god damn boy you're for me
And don't call me a star in these old denim jeans
You are that thing that's setting me free
So stay the night
Let's have a drink
Boy get lost with me
When you need to breathe
I'll make your heart beat twice as fast
Like a cigarette
And I will be your perfect match
Perfect match
Perfect match
I wanna stay up late and laugh with you all night
Story tell about both our lives
And we can lay side by side
Boy we're done for the ride
One night you know I love your style
And the taste of your bitter sweet smile
Won't you scream with me
A little nightmare and a dream with me
When you need to breathe
I'll make your heart beat twice as fast
Like a cigarette
And I will be your perfect match
Perfect match
Perfect match
Whispers calling
Falling don't let me
A hair just sparkled
Let me up it'll set us both free
So close your eyes
Close your eyes

A tiny detail caught my attention
Let me up it'll set us both free
Allow me to reveal my true self and we'll feel liberated
So close your eyes
Shut your eyes for a moment
Close your eyes
Close your eyes again
