Both of You

I would lie on a bed of nails for you

And tell the truth when the bleeding stops

I will jump over the moon for you

Though that might be expensive

I would run through brick walls

Make a thousand wolf like calls

Outside your house at midnight

Or at least until the police arrived

I would swim an Ocean for you

Though I might tie myself to a ship

To preserve my arms

Until I can hold on to you

I would dive off that Acapulco rock

Like those experts do

You can untie my body

When I crawl on the beach

I will leap from an aeroplane for you

Obviously with a parachute on

Otherwise I might be dead

And this love I preach would be gone

But I haven’t booked the jump yet

So I can carry on saying

All the things I will do for you

May not never ever come true

But me making you laugh

Always cuts you in half

And I get to keep both of you
