According to them love is chivalrous and I must play distressed
According to them love is remembering dates of first faded moments
But I don’t have a pretty face or any sense of style
I don’t have a million things to give you in return for your smile
I don’t care if you come or go ’cause I won’t control your changes
According to them you owe me a ring and your name and your babies
According to them love is a job that never ever stops
But I want you whether or not you want me like an obsession of the heart
I don’t care if you won’t see me seriously with the future on your mind
You’re married to living and not me but I get to be in your life
According to them love is to lay down and let myself be walked upon
According to them love is place or a thing or a character in a song
And I don’t care if according to them its not real because were not betrothed
I’m sending you good thoughts on the ether wishing you well as far as well can go
My attention is all I have to give and maybe it’s not enough
but it’s formed a pointy arrow on which I carry to you, my love
