Endlessly Lyrics

there's a shop down the street
where they sell plastic rings
for a quarter a piece, i swear it
yeah, i know that it's cheap
not like gold in your dreams
but i hope that you'll still wear it

yeah, the ink may stain my skin
and my jeans may all be ripped
i'm not perfect
but i swear i'm perfect for you

and there's no guarantee
that this will be easy
it's not a miracle you need
believe me
i'm no angel, i'm just me
but i will love you endlessly
wings aren't what you need
you need me

there's a house on the hill
with a view of the town
and i know how you adore it
so i'll work every day
through the sun and the rain
until i can afford it

yeah, your friends may think i'm crazy
cause they can only see
i'm not perfect
but i swear i'm perfect for you

and there's no guarantee
that this will be easy
it's not a miracle you need
believe me
i'm no angel, i'm just me
but i will love you endlessly
wings aren't what you need
you need me
you need me
you need me
you need me
you need me

ink may stain my skin
and my jeans may all be ripped
i'm not perfect
but i swear i'm perfect for you

there's a shop down the street
where they sell plastic rings
for a quarter a piece, i swear it
yeah, i know that it's cheap
not like gold in your dreams
but i hope that you'll still wear it

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I love this song, and I want a man to feel this intensely for me one day.

That said the meaning is pretty straight forward. He's madly in love with this woman and wants to give her everything, but at the moment he can't. He's telling her, "I will give you a ring and commit myself to you right now, even though it won't be what you've dreamed of, because I love you with all my heart." He's promising her that though things are hard right now, financially and career wise it seems, he's working his butt off to get to the level where he can give her all the things he knows she dreams of (a gold and diamond ring, a big house on the hill). He's asking her to stand with him, despite her friends' and family's reservations about him, because as soon as it gets better, he's going to give her all the things she's dreamed of. It's also showing how he's willing to give her everything because she is his everything. He doesn't need anything else other than her which is why he repeats the first verse at the close of the song. He's asking her to wear this cheap plastic ring because all he needs is her love.
