[Verse 1]

I'd walk a thousand miles for you

(At the end you'd have died)

Alright, my top mileage is four

If you want the moon, I'll get that too

(Then you'd screw up the tide)

I'll just buy you flowers to save the shore


[Pre-Chorus]

You know, sweetheart, that I'd do most anything

But there's a limit to my capacity

And it would be smarter if you didn't cling

To the thought that I could be a bit more than me


[Chorus]

Cause I'd love to see eye-to-eye somewhere

But that somewhere is far away from here

And I love to love without a care

But I'm out of cares to not give, ya see, my dear

I'm not vitriolic

I'm just not hyperbolic


[Verse 2]

Every night I rest and dream of you

(That's a generalization)

Ah, the problem is recalling when I wake

I could stay here forever, just us two

('Til you make a realization)

Ah, then again I'd have to take a bathroom break


[Pre-Chorus]

And when times get tough, I'll be right by your side

Hoping in those tough times, I will suffice

I say the truth enough, I know I've never lied

But perhaps I should have been a bit less precise


[Chorus]

Cause I'd love to see eye-to-eye somewhere

But I doubt that I could navigate that place

And I love to love without a care

But to truly never care I'd need some space

Excuse my aberration

But it's no exaggeration


[Bridge]

Truly, yes, there is no other that I love more

But this wouldn't be the first time I've been wrong

I confess that it is tough to the person I adore

To say forever when that doesn't mean how long


[Chorus]

Cause I'd love to see eye-to eye somewhere

And I bet we'll get there sooner than we think

And I love to love without a care

But I care too much to give up that one link

So why be artistic

When you can be realistic
