[Verso 1]
My ancestors planted some sequoias by a road
I've driven down that road since I was born
Oh, never have you ever seen so many perfect evergreens
But I would chop them all down just for you
[Verso 2]
I have walked a million miles in a hundred pairs of shoes
In search of some universal truth
Well, a deity just came to me and handed me a scroll to read
And I will gladly pass it on to you
[Coro]
Anything for you
All of this is true
But the best story that I could ever tell
Is the one where I am growing old with you
[Verso 3]
I was having rotten luck, and nothing went my way
'til I stumbled on a clearing in the woods
I found a town of leprechauns, and grabbed each one for wishing on, but I would let them all go just for you
[Verso 4]
I have crossed a natural plane and communed with the dead
But people always seem to want some proof
No one even would believe, my love, that evil I got pictures of
But I would throw them all out just for you
[Coro]
Anything for you
All of this is true
But the best story that I could ever tell
Is the one where I am growing old with you
[Verso 5]
My scar is from a polar bear, my curse is from a witch
I've caught a giant squid in all the seven seas
I've picked up rocks from distant moons astronomers will discover soon
But I would give them all back just for you
[Verso 5]
I've gotten drunk and shot the breeze with kings of far off lands
They showed me wealth as far as I could see
But their kingdoms seemed all shrivelly and they cried with jealousy when I leaned in and told them about you
[Coro 2]
I'd give up anything
(Anything for you)
I'd give it all
(All of this is true)
But the best story that I could ever tell
Is the one where I am growing old with you
[Ending]
All I've ever wanted, see, was to tell you honestly
I'd do anything for you
I'd do absolutely anything for you
