"But I'd rather be working for a pay check, Than waiting to win the lottery." This lyric is one of the most confusing because throughout the song, he speaks of someone that sounds like his perfect match. Any girl that gives me the ability to see (not literally) "I think I was blind before I met you" would be considered the lottery in my opinion. But we all know love is work. Many of us have this notion that a PERFECT love exists (possibly the lottery) but it doesn't. I have met some outstanding couples in my lifetime but none of them would ever say that their love was perfect. All love takes work. So I don't think he means he is settling whatsoever. I think he means that he would rather work on the love he has than waiting around for PERFECT LOVE (LOTTERY) because we all know that just doesn't exist. Definitely one of the best love songs ever! Hands down! |

The lyrics could definitely be perceived both a positive and negative manner. I personally choose to lean towards positive. Everyone has to be realistic when it comes to falling in love. Yes, the person you love can dream of someone new, lose their way and even worse, close their eyes first. These are all risks that anyone falling in love has to consider but by her following up the verses with she is giving up on greener grasses, half empty glasses, etc, I think she is hinting at giving up on the easy route of not falling in love and giving into something riskier but definitely more worthwhile. I think so many of us find reasons NOT to fall in love because the risk is too high. In my opinion this song is flat out saying that she is no longer making up excuses why not to give into love. This song is so damn beautiful and touching! It definitely ranks high on my list of wedding songs. |
