(Verse 1)
I found you as you are
A small alien prince banished from Mars
You found me as I am
A tall wild thing with handcuffed hands
(Pre-Chorus)
Breathin' new air
We both started to fall
Gravity lifted us up
And we saw past our walls
(Chorus)
You said your heart was made of stone
And that your eyes love to roam
You said your soul was better off alone
Yet I saw imperfect perfection
You said your words could charm anyone
And that your legs never fail to run
You'd been to the moon but long for the sun
Yet I saw imperfect perfection
(Verse 2)
I saw you as you are
Runnin' from your throne, broken at heart
You saw me as I am
A small insecure boy, trapped by demands
(Pre-Chorus)
Escapin' their fears
We threw the money at the wall
Finally out of tears
We were richer than them all
(Chorus)
‘Cause I saw your heart, how it's made of gold
And I wanted your eyes to see the world
You touched my soul and made me feel at home
Then said I was imperfect perfection
Maybe it's your words that charm everyone
But I'll stay beside you wherever you run
I'll give you the moon on our way to the sun
‘Cause you're my imperfect perfection
(Bridge)
Oh, you're my imperfect perfection
Oh
So perfectly imperfect babe
I say this to remind you how beautiful you are
And that I don't care if you came from Mars
You saved this wild thing from a world of shame
And I'll take you as you are cause you took me the same
(Chorus)
I'll take you heart, cause it's made of gold
And I'll take your eyes wherever they roam
You tamed this heart and now you have my soul
‘Cause you're my imperfect perfection
