Perfect Together
Rosanna Pansino Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴If you were the popcorn
I would be the movie
If you were strawberries
then I would be the smoothie
If you were October
I'd be apple cider
and if you were the waffle fries
then I would be the slider Cause you and me, we make each other better
We may not be perfect but we're perfect together
You and me, we'll make it through whatever
We may not be perfect but we're perfect together
da da da da
If you were Sunday brunch
I'd be eggs and bacon
if you were hot chocolate
I'd be the winter night you stay in
If you were a candy
I would be the wrapper
and if you were marshmallows
then I'd be the graham cracker
Cause you and me, we make each other better
We may not be perfect but we're perfect together
You and me, we'll make it through whatever
We may not be perfect but we're perfect together
What's the point of apple pie
without the ice cream on the side
That'd be like not having you tonight
And what's the point of a fondue
without the chocolate too
That'd be like me not having you
da da da da
Cause you and me, we make each other better
We may not be perfect but we're perfect together
You and me, we'll make it through whatever

We may not be perfect but we're perfect together
da da da da
