Love can take alot of effort, that's why these lines
"And I've always dreamed/That love would be effortless/Like a petal/fallin' to the ground/A dreamer followin' his dream"
are pretty childish. The whole cry in the song is asking another person to love them, to move their world, and expecting it to take the other person no effort. It's extremely hypocritical, love is as much of a verb as it is a feeling in your heart, you have to act on what you feel, cultivate what you feel, and give the other person in reality the love they deserve. It takes alot of work.
