"Perfect Symmetry" is a song by English rock band Keane. It was released on 29 December 2008 as the third single and is the title track from their third album of the same name.[1] The song has been remixed by American electronic rock band Innerpartysystem and is available on their remix Myspace page.

The radio edit version of the 7" single rearranges the song somewhat, the second verse being taken from the original first verse, and the original second verse being removed completely. It also cuts out the introduction at the beginning.
