Perfect (Apple Music Live)

Lyrics

[Intro] Gotta be honest, I'm super nervous about tonight Um, I never played, uh, a whole album in full with the band the way it sounds, exactly like it sounds on the record I'm usually, this is my live set, I'm on a loop pedal and it always sounds quite different to the record And that's kind of the way that I like it I like, you listening to the album and coming to a gig and then just hearing it re-imagined But because you've never heard this album I'm about to play, we can kind of give it to you exactly the way that it is on the rеcord And you can, I'ma tell you stories from it and blah-blah-blah But it's a, yeah, it's gonna bе, it's gonna be weird 'Cause these stories are all real stories that happened in my life And, uh, I often find when you release music, the music then belongs to the public So the next song I'm gonna play, it's been out for a while I wrote it about my wife, but it now belongs to all of you And you guys hear this song, you don't think, "Ah, Ed's wife" You think about the person, uh, that, that you love But the thing is with the songs I'm about to play you is They don't belong to you yet, they're gonna start belonging to you tonight And, uh, well, I mean, one of them, "Eyes Closed" has been out for a couple of days And it's been nice, sort of, hearing the stories of that But anyway, this is a song that I wrote back in 2015 that used to belong to me And now belongs to all of you [Verse 1] I found a love for me Darlin', just dive right in and follow my lead Well, I found a girl beautiful and sweet Oh, I never knew you were the someone waitin' for me [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love Not knowin' what it was I will not give you up this time Darlin', just kiss me slow Your heart is all I own And in your eyes, you're holdin' mine [Chorus] Baby, I'm dancin' in the dark with you between my arms Barefoot on the grass, listenin' to our favourite song When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath But you heard it, darlin', you look perfect tonight [Verse 2] But I found a woman stronger than anyone I know 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 [Pre-Chorus] We are still kids, but we're so in love Fightin' against all odds I know we'll be alright this time Darlin', just hold my hand Be my girl, I'll be your man I see my future in your eyes [Chorus] Baby, I'm dancin' in the dark with you between my arms Barefoot on the grass, listenin' to our favourite song I saw you in that dress, lookin' so beautiful I don't deserve this, darlin', you look perfect tonight [Bridge] Mm, mm, mm [Chorus] Baby, I'm dancin' in the dark with you between my arms Barefoot on the grass, listenin' to our favourite song I have faith in what I see, now I know I have met An angel in person, she looks perfect No, I don't deserve this, you look perfect tonight
