The Rest Of My Life Lyrics
I know you've heard the excuses before,
So I won't waste your time and I'll keep this short,
About my emotions because I can't afford to be wrong.
I know we've talked about being good friends,
So we've been real careful of the signals we've sent,
But all your glances they came and they went to my head.
~Chorus~
And I'm not a man to throw words to the wind,
When I said you I loved you that's what I meant,
And I plan to show you if it takes me the rest of my life,
The rest of my life,
The rest of my life.
I don't want to rush this because my greatest fear
Is taking for granted what's taken us years
To build from the ground up with all of the tears that we've cried,
We're taking our time and for this I'm so glad
Now we can be sure that this moment will last,
We traveled a road of mistakes in our past to get here
So I'm not about to throw words to the wind
when I said I loved you that's what I meant,
And I plan to show you if it takes me the rest of my life,
the rest of my life,
the rest of my life.
chorus

And I'm not a man to throw words to the wind,
When I said you I loved you that's what I meant,
And I plan to show you if it takes me the rest of my life,
The rest of my life,
The rest of my life.
Is taking for granted what's taken us years
To build from the ground up with all of the tears that we've cried,
Now we can be sure that this moment will last,
We traveled a road of mistakes in our past to get here

And I plan to show you if it takes me the rest of my life,
the rest of my life,
the rest of my life.

This song means everything to me. This song describes my first crush, how you can be friends, and how both of you can want to be more, but you never do. It's a great love song about trust, love, and friendship. One of the top 5 Blessid Union of Souls songs they do:)
Oh my gosh... this song... So I'm sitting on my kitchen counter with my boyfriend, and we're kind of ending a little dispute on my commitment issues. And he says, "[something something] and if I could give you everything for the rest of my life." And immediately after this, Eliot sings, "And I plan to show you if it takes me the rest of my life."
I could have died.
Well this reminds me of my best friend-Eric! I love you. cuz i know that hed do anything to prove to me he loved me even if it was to take the rest of his life!n i love you! great sogn!
I love this song too. mostly "I'm not a man to throw words to the wind- when I said I loved you, thats what I meant" I got this cd when it came out and am now finally obsessed with it. Weird.
well this song would mean a lot more to someone that has actually felt this way, as with most things. its about 2 best friends who one day realise they are in love with each other i love the line " i dont want to rush this for my greatest fear is taking for granted whats taken us years" i think its really nice and its so true. i think the high point of the song is where he says "im not a man to throw words to the wind when i said i loved that wat i meant and im going to show u even if it takes the rest of my life" those words are so powerful for someone to say that to someone he must really love her, its a great song with a great meaning and i love it lol im such a sucker for this kind of music it makes me think of one of my friends :D des
Absolutely LOVE this song! Reminds me exaclty of my current situation. But, the third line of the song is actually... "I've bound my emotions because I can't afford to be wrong."
Just wanted to correct that because it really helps with the meaning of the song.
