All I know
Is everything is not as it's sold
But the more I grow the less I know
And I have lived so many lives
Though I'm not old
And the more I see, the less I grow
The fewer the seeds the more I sow
Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try
Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try, try
I wish I hadn't seen all of the realness
And all the real people are really not real at all
The more I learn the more I learn
The more I cry the more I cry
As I say goodbye to the way of life
I thought I had designed for me
Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try
Then I see you standing there
I'm all I'll ever be
But all I can do is try
Oh, try, try
All of the moments that already passed
We'll try to go back and make them last
All of the things we want each other to be
We never will be, we never will be
And that's wonderful, and that's life
And that's you, baby
This is me, baby
And we are, we are, we are, we are
We are, we are
Free
In our love
We are free in our love
Is everything is not as it's sold
But the more I grow the less I know
And I have lived so many lives
Though I'm not old
And the more I see, the less I grow
The fewer the seeds the more I sow
Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try
Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try, try
I wish I hadn't seen all of the realness
And all the real people are really not real at all
The more I learn the more I learn
The more I cry the more I cry
As I say goodbye to the way of life
I thought I had designed for me
Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try
Then I see you standing there
I'm all I'll ever be
But all I can do is try
Oh, try, try
All of the moments that already passed
We'll try to go back and make them last
All of the things we want each other to be
We never will be, we never will be
And that's wonderful, and that's life
And that's you, baby
This is me, baby
And we are, we are, we are, we are
We are, we are
Free
In our love
We are free in our love

"Everything is not as its sold" - love is not perfect
"I have lived many lives" - She has done a lot of things, maybe different careers or ideas of life. I.e. she is in farmers clothes and then in city woman's clothes in the video.
"Say goodbye to a way of life i thought I had designed for me" - she had her life all planned out and then she met a man and fell in love and had to say goodbye to that life she made for self.
"All the moments that have passed, try to go back and make them last" - she misses her past life before her love, and thinks about them to try and relive those moments.
In the video, she is trying to pull a cow or something and cant do it. I think she is trying to live this way of life with her partner for her love, but is she doesn't have her heart in it, but she is trying to do all the manual labour and farm work.
"This is me, this is you" - Talk about accepting each other and embracing each others strengths and weaknesses. Love is not easy, love is not perfect.. but they can try and make it work.
She always lived in a sad and grey world when she discover the fake people around her and all the dissapointings of life...and the guy is always the one that motivate her to leave her sad meaning of life based on the past not yet left behind to something better, to get more and the best of her that in THAT state of mind she cannot achieve. He's always the one that's trying to drag her to a much happier and colorful world together but she doesn't even *try* to give him a chance to do it. (in the video, he offers his hand to get out of the chair of the "misery world"...but he always stands, she release his hand and leaves alone to the better "colorful world".)
In the end of the video is even more obvious: Both look and try to reach each other, she finally understands that both are in love and together are invincible to fight against the rest of the fake and dissapointing world, they are just what they are and won't change anything, they love each other just like they are and that's a perfect relationship (in the video represented with the crowd part).
But to achieve that level of happiness and love, she's got to *try* first and give the guy a chance and take his hand to start something better together. (in the video...is the last part, both together in a happy and beautiful landscape).
If that is not the meaning of true love...then..¿which one is it?

Is everything is not as it's sold
-Not everything is what it seems to be. Not at all.
but the more I grow the less I know
-The more people learn sometimes the more confused they become, you know, when you were little and everything was so simple, all you had to do was your homework and you got a sticker for it. But the more you grow it seems the more confusing things can be, wheather it is about religion and where we all come from, to science, to other things.
And I have lived so many lives
Though I'm not old
-Reincarnation.
Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try
Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try
-She knows what he/she/they want her to be and she tries to be that but she isn't exactully becoming ot achieving it.
I wish I hadn't seen all of the realness
-Growing up and getting to know reality.
And all the real people are really not real at all
-Dolls are fake, humans are real, but they act faker then dolls sometimes.
The more I learn the more I cry
-The more you learn about the world and how all the abuse to animals, children, the Earth, and other humans is going on the more fustrated people seem to get.
As I say goodbye to the way of life
I thought I had designed for me
-She thought the way of life she created for her was a good one, but now all she wants to do is say goodbye to it.
Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try
Then I see you standing there
I'm all I'll ever be
But all I can do is try
Try
-I'm all I'll ever be.
All of the moments that already passed
We'll try to go back and make them last
-People go back to old memories and remember them, by trying to make them last she means by remembering them, thinking of them, or looking at old pictures.
All of the things we want each other to be
We never will be
-People always want people do be something else. But the truth is;people are who they are.
And that's wonderful, and that's life
And that's you, baby
This is me, baby
And we are, we are, we are, we are
Free
In our love
We are free in our love
