Donna:
Thanks so much for your thoughtful comments!
I didn't know the line about going back in time might be viewed as negative of contradictory. I'll have to think some more about the last verse.
Regarding the word "greed" in the Bridge, it's kind of central to the song. This is a light-hearted song about making extravagant demands. Everything the singer requests is either way too expensive or just plain impossible to give--except for love. If you think about it, however, one of the most extravagant things one person can request from another human being is his/her love and affection. But it's not greed to want that, is it? That's the point the singer makes in the bridge.
Finally, the last lines in Verses 2 and 3 are short to fit the music. Once I get the song recorded, you'll see how it works.
Thanks again for your comments.
