The second and final commercial single off the Pumpkins' 1998 album Adore.
“Perfect” is in many ways a “sister song” to the band’s biggest hit, “1979” – from Rolling Stone magazine stating that it “picks up on the synth-pop echoes of the 1996 Pumpkins hit” to the music video, which is a sequel to “...
Perfect Lyrics
[Intro]
Perfect
Perfect
[Verse 1]
I know we're just like old friends
We just can't pretend
That lovers make amends
[Verse 2]
We are reasons so unreal
We can't help but feel
That something has been lost
[Pre-Chorus]
But please, you know you're just like me
Next time (Time), I promise we'll be
[Chorus]
Perfect
Perfect
Perfect strangers down the line
Lovers out of time
Memories unwind
[Post-Chorus]
So far, I still know who you are
But now (Now), I wonder who I was
[Verse 3]
Angel, you know it's not the end
We'll always be good friends
The letters have been sent on
[Pre-Chorus]
So please, you always were so free
You'll see (See), I promise we'll be
[Chorus]
Perfect
Perfect strangers when we meet
Strangers on the street
Lovers while we sleep
[Outro]
Perfect, you know this has to be
We always were so free
We promised that we'd be
Perfect
Perfect
Perfect

The Pumpkins frontman wrote in Adore’s reissue liner notes:
Penned in Los Angeles, ‘Perfect’ was a late addition to the fold; my inspiration the coming break-up of two people I once thought I admired. To state the obvious, the lyric is meant as ironic, as little in love’s affairs can be quantified...
