Something Like Perfect
Grey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm feeling something like hysteria
I'm saying something like love
I'm hoping something like you and I
Everybody tells me you're the one

You're looking something more than beautiful
You're saying something more than one
I'm showing something more than adoration
Everybody says that we're in love

They're saying something like inseparable
They're glowing something like the sun
I'm certain everybody knows it
Everybody smiles when we're around

He's looking something like dedicated
They're feeling something like being one
She's telling everyone it's forever
Everybody knows they're having so much fun

And I'm so sure




Yes I'm certain
Someone's watching over us

Momentos maravilhosos ouvindo essa música! Eu amo tanto isso.

Então eu adoro quando você chama de surpresa inesperada
Porque eu odeio quando os momentos são esperados
Então eu vou cuidar de você
Eu vou cuidar de você, você, você

Porque garota você vale a pena

Porque garota você vale a pena

Você faz parecer mágica
Porque eu não vejo ninguém, ninguém
além de você

Lord I can't get over this song
Is 11- 06- 2022 and I'm still listening to this song ❤️❤️❤️

The first time I came across this song was when I was going through a terrible heartbreak 💔💔 ( 2019) that brought down my self confidence & self esteem completely 😥
The song practically helped me to heal faster than I expected

I cry each timeI listen carefully to the lyrics of the song and also, I imagine being truly loved and appreciated by someone I love

The lyrics hits differently tho❤️
