My Kind of Perfect Lyrics
I was thinking about 'cha
I drew a little picture
But some things you can't put on paper
I like you like shooting stars
I write songs on guitar
Got more things to do than stare at a mirror
And I know, I know
She's gotta be out there, out there
I know, I know she's gotta be
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right
Maybe I just let you walk by
What can I say
Maybe I've known you all my life
Is she the one, is it today
Will I turn the corner
See my future in a beautiful face
Maybe
She's anything but typical
A sweet surprise
No matter what she's looking at the bright side
It's gonna be worth it
'Cause that's what love is
I'll keep searching for my kind of perfect
And I know, I know
She's gotta be out there, out there
I know, I know she's gotta be
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right
Maybe I just let you walk by
What can I say
Maybe I've known you all my life
Is she the one, is it today
Will I turn the corner
See my future in a beautiful face
Maybe
They say give it time
Give it time and it will fall in line
But I keep wondering how and when
And why I haven't met you
But maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right
Is she the one, is it today
Will I turn the corner
See my future in a beautiful face
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right
Maybe I just let you walk by
What can I say
Maybe I've known you all my life
Is she the one, is it today
Will I turn the corner
See my future in a beautiful face
Maybe, oh maybe
I'll keep searching for my kind of perfect
I drew a little picture
But some things you can't put on paper
I write songs on guitar
Got more things to do than stare at a mirror
She's gotta be out there, out there
I know, I know she's gotta be
Maybe I just let you walk by
What can I say
Maybe I've known you all my life
Is she the one, is it today
Will I turn the corner
See my future in a beautiful face
Maybe
A sweet surprise
No matter what she's looking at the bright side
'Cause that's what love is
I'll keep searching for my kind of perfect
She's gotta be out there, out there
I know, I know she's gotta be
Maybe I just let you walk by
What can I say
Maybe I've known you all my life
Is she the one, is it today
Will I turn the corner
See my future in a beautiful face
Maybe
Give it time and it will fall in line
But I keep wondering how and when
And why I haven't met you
Will I turn the corner
See my future in a beautiful face
Maybe I just let you walk by
What can I say
Maybe I've known you all my life
Is she the one, is it today
Will I turn the corner
See my future in a beautiful face
Maybe, oh maybe

wow! no comments? i'm surprised! this was such a great album by archuleta, such an improvement! This song and "Parachutes and Airplanes" are my favorites on the album. this song is basically just talking about the sort of anxiety of finding "the one." you want to find her/him fast, but you don't really want to let the thrill go by, and you want to make sure that they are the real deal before you fall too fast. you just want them to be your kind of perfect, and it's kind of overwhelming to think that they're just swimming in a whole crowd of people.
"It's gonna be worth it 'Cause that's what love is I'll keep searching for my kind of perfect"
That's my fave line!
I second the motion. :)

This is my favorite song of all times. David once described this as a song that could truly portray his feelings, and he said that he had never been in a relationship, but this is how he wants it to feel, this is how he knows that the girl is worth it. I honestly live by this. I live by the fact that I know I haven't met "the one" boy who is right for me, so I will search diligently til i find the boy who will treat me like a princess.
Basically this song is about the rush and the excitement of looking. I feel like this is the funnest part, the search. You don't have to be tied down by a relationship, you can be you. You can search. Its like a giant game of hide and seek in which your oponent could be anyone, hiding in any nook, cranny, or corner. Thats what this song is. Its a giant hide and seek game.
