Flawless
The Neighbourhood Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She planned ahead for a year, he said let's play it by ear
She didn't want him to run, he didn't want her to fear
Nobody said it'd be easy, they knew it was rough
But, tough luck

I fell in love today, there aren't many words you can say
That could ever get my mind to change
She's enough for me, she's in love with me

You're a doll, you are flawless
But I just can't wait for love to destroy us
I just can't wait for love
Your only flaw, you are flawless
But I just can't wait for love to destroy us
I just can't wait for love

So, she put his heart in a bag, he wouldn't ask for it back
He didn't want her to cry, she didn't want to be sad
She said, you better not leave me
This shit'll be fucked for days and weeks and months, but

I fell in love today, there aren't any words that you can say
That could ever get my mind to change
She's enough for me, she's in love with me

You're a doll, you are flawless
But I just can't wait for love to destroy us
I just can't wait for love
Your only flaw, you are flawless
But I just can't wait for love to destroy us
I just can't wait for love

Add it all up, I can find it
The problem with love is I'm blinded by
It rattles my lungs, but my mind is
Tangled between your little flaws
Your flaws, your flaws, your flaws

You're a doll, you are flawless
But I just can't wait for love to destroy us
I just can't wait for love
Your only flaw, you are flawless
But I just can't wait for love to destroy us
I just can't wait for love

Wait for love, I won't wait for love




Wait for love, I won't wait for love
Wait for love

Overall Meaning

The song Flawless by The Neighbourhood is about a relationship that has ups and downs, with the couple having to work through tough times together. The first verse talks about the differences between the two partners - she likes to plan ahead while he prefers to go with the flow. They both know that their relationship won't be easy, but they're willing to stick it out anyway. The chorus describes the singer falling in love with somebody who is flawless to him, but he's wary of how love can easily destroy relationships. In the second verse, the woman is afraid of the man leaving her, but they both agree to work through any problems that may come up. The final verse talks about how the singer is conflicted about love - he knows it brings him happiness, but it also makes him blind to the flaws in the relationship.


The lyrics in Flawless are quite poetic, but they're also relatable, as many people have experienced the highs and lows of a romantic relationship. The use of the words "doll" and "flawless" to describe the woman convey a sense of idealization, as though the singer sees his partner as perfect. However, the repeated line "I just can't wait for love" suggests underlying anxiety about what the future of the relationship holds. Overall, the song captures the push and pull of a relationship, with the singer expressing both devotion and hesitation.
