To me, this song is about how this guy believes he has found perfection in this girl he's been watching from afar, yet he's searching for her imperfections. In the verses, he's speaking hypothetically when he says "maybe". So, maybe one of her flaws could be that her hair smells like cigarettes, or that she's dishonest most of the time.
When you get to the end of the song, it's like the guy is saying that the ONLY imperfection he's found in this girl, is that she's not with him.
She's almost perfect...with one exception...she's not with the guy.
