Description
Love here is hyperbolic, like a school essay on the topic ‘What I would do for you.’ Mountains collapse, hurricanes are tamed, Eden grows right in the garden behind the house. But behind all this cosmic power lies a simple desire - to hear other people's memories, to sit together until dawn, to go to Pittsburgh to see the house where they grew up. And in the end, loud vows turn into a quiet ‘stay, I'll wait a thousand years.’

Lyrics and translation
Original
Chop you down a mountain if I had the strength
I'd lasso a hurricane and put it in its place
Grow you an Eden if I had the grace
I'd wait a thousand years if that's how long it'd take
Yeah, it's true
I've been out here searching for you
Out in the wild and the open blue
Looking for me and you
Let's take a trip to Pittsburgh, to the house you grew up in
I wanna know you now, babe, and I wanna know you then
Tell me every memory that brings the good light in
Tell me that you love me, and then tell me once again
Yeah, it's true
I've been out here searching for you
Out in the wild and the open blue
Looking for me and you
Looking for me and you
I'd pick you up at midnight, or I'd sit with you 'til dawn
If you wanna be alone, I'll wait outside on the lawn
I wanna go everywhere with you 'cause with you's where I belong
And if you ever think of quitting, babe, just listen to this song
Yeah, it's true
I've been out here searching for you
Out in the wild and the open blue
Looking for me and you
Looking for me and you
Looking for me and you
Looking for me and you
Me and you
