It's more than just finding the perfect person. It's thinking and believing the person is perfect even with all their flaws, and loving them, not despite of them but because of them.

This song is very touching and meaningful! Perfect doesn’t exist without true love. Perfect is seeing past one’s flaws. Love is perfect when true. Through the good times and the bad...If Love is true and the spark is real...Everything about the two is perfect as is! The journey of two lovers together...the story behind their love is amazingly perfect when told!

I think it's a very romantic song that means that the imperfections of two people may make them perfect for each other.

I feel it's about being a perfect person for someone you love. That feeling itself is so special.

Your SO is perfect to you even if they think otherwise. Just being and dancing with them is just as perfect. Perfect song for wedding receptions.
Couldn't agree more.... It's a perfect for weeding receptions!

I think it describes the emotions a person feels when they have found the one for them. The one that sees them as being flawless even with their flaws on display

The song is about a man who falls in love with a women who he views as “perfect”. Whether she is society’s vision of perfect or his own perception of beauty, he loves her.

It’s a very wonderful love song with good lyrics. To my understanding it means everyone will get a perfect soul mate when the time is right.

It means that if it is the right person, they are perfect no matter how they are dressed or how they are looking. You should love them and respect them as they are.

This was my all-time favourite before. But, of course, change is constant and our preference evades as time progresses.

To me, I think the song is expressing how there's someone out there who is a match for another. It's just a matter of time when both persons will meet. Like destiny.
