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, that 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 



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 shrivelly 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.
