Perfect
Pentatonix Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I found a love for me
Darling just dive right in
And follow my lead
Well, I found a girl beautiful and sweet
Well, I never knew you were the someone waiting for me

'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
Not knowing what it was
I will not give you up this time
Darling, just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
And in your eyes you're holding mine

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, we're listening to our favorite song
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
But you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight

Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home
I found a lover, to carry more than just my secrets
To carry love, to carry children of our own
We are still kids, but we're so in love
Fighting against all odds
I know we'll be alright this time
Darling, just hold my hand
Be my girl, I'll be your man
I see my future in your eyes

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, we're listening to our favorite song
When I saw you in that dress, looking so beautiful
I don't deserve this, darling, you look perfect tonight

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
We're barefoot on the grass, we're listening to our favorite song
I have faith in what I see
Now I know I have met an angel in person
And she looks perfect




I don't deserve this
You look perfect tonight (oh)

I wasn’t sure how I’d feel with Avi gone, but Matt is holding it down! I’m glad the group has been able to progress without any drama or a lack of quality, and I wish all the best for the PTX members both past and present. 😊👍🏽

Kirsten Morris

Matt is a decent bass but he cannot match Avi who's powerful bass blew out speakers nor can he overtone sing like Avi. 😔I miss Avi 😢

Danielle Williams

Yes he is

Shelly McManus

what happened to Avi?

Litia Konusi

can we take a second to appreciate kevin’s cello-boxing?

wendy cattanach

@Litia Konusi I have subscribed 2 all Pentatonic members as well as the group.
I LOVE watching Kevin, as u see him doing a song from scratch. The way you see him record himself, then looping all his sounds in front of you, & by the end, it sound that good, he could do it as a single & nobody would know that he did it in 1 take.
My favorite 1 of his is "Down", as u see him play his cello beautifully, then he sings amazing, & beat boxes & loops it all.
You r right. People forget what Kevin can do with that gorgeous cello, & stunning voice,& that stunning, amazing beat boxing all in 1 song & in 1 take.
HE IS 1 TRUELLY,AMAZING,TALENTED MAN.
Glad we both agree about the beautiful way he plays his cello.
