Let’s Be Realistic
[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
