day five. late. again.

you know those people that you would do anything for? how far does that go...? ludo tells us just how far they would go. lemme tell ya, they have some pretty awesome things happen to them... but that doesn't mean anything because they don't have anyone to share their stories with. they would give up all of their stories and adventures to be with one person they love. they want nothing more than to grow old with the one they love.

"Anything for You" by LUDO


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.

CHORUS
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.

CHORUS

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.

adorable? yes. i just love this song... "the best story that i could ever tell is the one where i am growing old with you." but what about all those wrinkles, you ask? as much as i don't want them, i know that true love will look past and live past those wrinkles. yay for love :)
