My Love For You Is Real
My love for you is real
It moves like the summer wind
My love for you is long
It's like the night sky, ain't got no end
My love for you is wide
Yeah, it move like the summer breeze
My love for you is long
Yeah, it bring me to my knees
Yeah, and it's wide
Yeah, it's river long
Yeah, it's rock strong
Yeah, I'm wild as hell
Honey now, my love for you is real
My love for you is wild
So cross your T's and dot you eyes
Well, who taught us how to feel
And say hello with long goodbyes
And it's wide
River long
Yeah, and it's rock strong
Yeah, I'm wild as hell
Honey now, my love for you is real
My love for you is real
My love for you is real
My love for you is real
Yeah, it's real
(alternate verse)
My love for you will pass
But you'll own me anyway
And you can sort me out
And search grave by grave
These lyrics from Ryan Adams' song "My Love For You Is Real" speak of the intensity and depth of the singer's love for someone. He describes his love as being like the wind and the sky, which have no limits. He also characterizes it as wild, an untamed force that brings him to his knees. The repetition of the lines "And it's wide / River long / Yeah, and it's rock strong" emphasizes the uncontainable quality of his love.
The second verse of the song seems to be a reflection on the nature of love itself, questioning who taught us how to feel such intense emotions and why we tend to say goodbye with such reluctance. The final verse is somewhat more ambiguous, with the singer appearing to suggest that his love will eventually end, but that his beloved will still have power over him even after that time has passed. In this sense, the song could be seen as a meditation on the fleeting nature of love.
