Perfect For Me
Show Me the Skyline Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

From the moment we met,
I must confess, I was obsessed.
She was such a fine mess and I wouldn't have guessed
That I would let her let me fall for her like this.

She's cute, but she's clumsy,
She says that she loves me.
She's moody and fussy,
But she'd never judge me.
My friends said she's crazy 'til they saw what we had.

She's got it, go slow and I'm ready to go.
She's cold when I'm hot and she's hot when I'm cold.
She's not what I thought that I wanted, but she
Well, she might not be perfect, but she's so perfect for me.

She's been down and depressed since he loved her and left,
But I saw through the stress and the tears on her dress.
When she started falling, I lifted her up.

I was over my head and she pulled me back out,
We got together, there wasn't a doubt,
This must be fate 'cause it has to be more than luck.

She's got it, go slow and I'm ready to go.
She's cold when I'm hot and she's hot when I'm cold.
She's not what I thought that I wanted, but she
Well, she might not be perfect, but she's so perfect for me.

Now that I got you, I never felt this way before.
I found what I never knew, never knew I was looking for.
I know that it's so new, I never felt this way before,
I found what I never knew, never knew I was looking for.

She's got it, go slow and I'm ready to go.
She's cold when I'm hot and she's hot when I'm cold.
She's not what I thought that I wanted, but she
Well, she might not be perfect, but she's so perfect for me.





She's so perfect for me.

Sent this to my boyfriend since it's one of my favorite songs but I didn't listen it through first so I decided to go back and I'm literally trying not to cry because he said that it was exactly how he feels about me....


I remember being a single Pringle and listening to this song thinking to myself "God I wish I had somebody who loves me like this/guys like this existed" and now I have one....


I feel so lucky.

Edit: now I'm listening to it on replay. It is now my absolute favorite song. Ever.

This song is my life. The girl I love is the same as me, but we are opposites. I never thought I'd fall for her, another girl. She might not be perfect, but she's so perfect for me. I love you, MMC.

My boyfriend sent this to me on our 1 yr. anniversary. Lol It's kinda funny that I had to find an equally cute song that would bring a silly smile to his face, and I succeeded. ^_^ I love this song.

this song seriously sounds like it was written for me and my girlfriend. every word is true about our relationship together. its weird...

UrAMathDebater

i wish more bands were like this. instead of writing music about smoking weed or drinking or having sex, write music about love and how you show it to the person you love.

Xira Latham

My boyfriend showed me this song. This is exactly our relationship and how i am through his eyes. :)
