Set my sails out on a sunny day
Pretty soon I was on my way
Though what for sure it was
I could not say
Two thousand reasons
Maybe more
Eight hundred chances
On faraway shores
Searching for something
Searching for more
Deep inside me burning
Reasons for the learning
Now you can pick up reasons
So easily
Where you've been
And where you've got to be
When the truth don't show you'll
Always see
Lots of reasons
And pretty soon
You've got a heavy load
Dragging those reasons
Down an endless road
I got to thinking
And I got to see
So many reasons
Coming at me
The one that leaves you
High and dry
He says you still owe him
There's a reason why
He'll leave you crying
Till the tears run dry
He's the one
Always the one
With all the reasons
So many reasons
They come and they go
The reasons for them
I'll never know
I've seen so many
They've come and they've gone
I've turned all mine in
I'm happy with one
So don't talk of friendship
Do it to me
Make me an offer
And make it for free
Don't give me reasons
Cause I wrote that song
I only want love now
So I'll just take the one
