I found a love for me
Darling just dive right in, and follow my lead
Well I found a girl, beautiful and sweet
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
But 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, 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 and
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home
I found a love, 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, 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
Barefoot on the grass, 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

                                          MEANING OF SONG

  The lyrics to "Perfect" are not complicated. They are beautiful and can easily be understood by anybody. So I will run through annotations where it is necessary.  

Apparently, "Perfect" is a song about Ed Sheeran's girlfriend Cherry Seaborn. We will see the subtle connections in this verse.

Cherry Seaborn is a 24 year old from Suffolk, United Kingdom, the place where Ed Sheeran grew up as he magnificently describes in another 'Divide' track "" So when the first verse says "Cause we were just kids when we fell in love" we know this refers to a long time love from back in England and Cherry Seaborn fits the description.

The chorus of "Perfect" is quite stunningly beautiful. It describes a scenario where the couple is dancing on the green grass, barefoot, while their favorite song plays in the background, under the moonlight. They are holding tight and she says she looks like a mess. He whispers in her ears that she looks nothing sort of perfection tonight. A slow whisper it may be, but the girl hears it very loud!

  Ed Sheeran compares himself with the love of his life. He feels so at home with her, they share the same dreams and he wishes he could someday share a house with her. He wants the whole white picket fence and kids deal with her. They have problems, but love conquers them all.  

  The second time the chorus comes around in "Perfect" it is a little different than the first. In the first chorus the girl was doubting about her looks and the singer says she looks perfect. The second chorus has one line changed where the singer appreciates her beauty in a beautiful dress she wore that night.  

Three different choruses appear rarely in a song and Ed Sheeran has managed that into "Perfect" and it is even more beautiful.

The third chorus too is a complete infatuation of the singer about his girlfriend. He even calls her an angel and he doubts that he deserves a person like this.

The third chorus marks the end of "Perfect" and it is insanely beautiful. But is it better than "Thinking Out Loud"? In my honest opinion, I don't really believe so. But we would like to hear your opinion as well. So leave your comments about "Perfect" in the comments below and let us know which song is the better!
