Lyric discussion by JAM4321 

Billy has said that "Perfect" is a sequel to "1979". If "1979" is an expression of adolescent angst, then "Perfect" is an expression of being a lost and hollow 20 something.

My favorite lines to compare are:

No apologies ever need be made I know you better than you fake it

and

So far I still know who you are But now I wonder who I was

Think of your best friend from youth or your first love... it fits perfectly (at least for me.)
