Set my sails out on a sunny day
Pretty soon I was on my way
Though what for sure it was
I could not say
Two thousand reasons
Maybe more
Eight hundred chances
On Faraway shores
Searching for something, searching for more
Deep inside me burning
Reasons for the learning
Now you can pick up reasons
So easily
Where you've been, and where you've got to be
And when the truth don't show, you'll always see
Lots of reasons
And pretty soon you've got a heavy load
Dragging those reasons down an endless road
I got to thinking and I got to see
So many reasons, coming at me
The one that leaves you high and dry
He says you still owe him, there's a reason why
He'll leave you crying, till the tears run dry
He's the one, always the one, with all the reasons
So many reasons, they come and they go
The reasons for them, I'll never know
I've seen so many, they've come and they've gone
I've turned all mine in, and I'm happy with one
So don't talk o friendship, do it to me!
Make me an offer, and make it for free
Don't give me reasons, because I wrote that song
I only want love now, so I'll just take the one
