Verse

Pre-chorus

Chorus

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

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

 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

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

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, tha evil I got pictures of

But I would throw them all out just for you

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

Bridge is the same progression as the verses

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

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 shrively and they cried with jealousy

When I leaned in and told them about you

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

 All I've ever wanted see, was to tell you honestly

 I'd do anything for you

 I'd do absolutely anything for you
