[@Alice] This will be the only response I make to you, since you felt the need to call me out on my personal opinion. 

[center][h3]Plagiarism[/h3][/center]
[center][i]1: The practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own.[/i][/center]
[center][i]Synonyms: Copying, Infringement of copyright, Piracy, Theft, Stealing[/i][/center]

What I am going to do:
Highlight song lyrics that follow the song timeline in red, even if a word or two is missing.

Highlight song lyrics that have been changed to something more "story" in green.
(IE: Changing "I would" to "I'd")(IE: Changing "Switch up the batteries" to "Switch it up sometimes.")

Highlight song lyrics that have have focus shifted with a perspective word changes in green. 
(IE: Changing "you are with me" to "I'm with Sarah")(IE: Changing "you" to "her")

Highlight added words into the lyric in orange.

[color=ed1c24]We're[/color][color=f26522] more [/color][color=ed1c24]than a thousand miles[/color][color=f26522] away [/color][color=ed1c24]from[/color][color=f26522] the [/color][color=ed1c24]comfort[/color] of our homes back in London, and it's taken us drives across Europe and Asia, and a boat across the Sea of Japan to get here, [color=ed1c24]but as long as[/color][color=39b54a] I'm with Sarah[/color], [color=ed1c24]there's no place I'd rather be[/color]. [color=39b54a]I'd[/color][color=ed1c24] wait[/color][color=f7941d] with her here [/color][color=ed1c24]forever[/color], [color=f7941d]because it feels that[/color] [color=ed1c24]as long as[/color] [color=39b54a]I'm with her[/color],[color=ed1c24] my heart[/color] [color=39b54a]will continue[/color] [color=ed1c24]to beat[/color].

[color=ed1c24]With every step[/color][color=f7941d] that[/color][color=ed1c24] we take[/color][color=f26522] from[/color][color=ed1c24] Kyoto[/color] [color=f7941d]town centre[/color][color=ed1c24] to the bay[/color], [color=ed1c24]strolling casually[/color], [color=f7941d]I realise that[/color][color=ed1c24] we're different[/color], [color=39b54a]but[/color][color=f7941d] still[/color][color=ed1c24] the same[/color]. [color=f7941d]Anyway, it's fun to[/color] [color=ed1c24]switch[/color] [color=39b54a]it up sometimes[/color].

[color=f26522]"Y'know," I say to Sarah, "[/color][color=ed1c24]If you gave me a chance[/color][color=f26522] to live here forever, [/color][color=ed1c24]I would take it[/color][color=f26522] instantly.[/color]"
[color=ed1c24]"It'd be a shot in the dark,"[/color][color=f7941d] she replies, "You barley speak Japanese,"[/color]
[color=ed1c24]"But[/color][color=39b54a] I'd[/color][color=ed1c24] make it!"[/color][color=f7941d] I tell her, [/color][color=ed1c24]"You must know with all of your heart[/color][color=f7941d] that[/color][color=39b54a] I wouldn't[/color][color=f7941d] let you[/color][color=39b54a] shake[/color][color=ed1c24] me![/color][color=ed1c24] When[/color][color=39b54a] I'm [/color][color=ed1c24]with you, there's no place I'd rather be!"[/color]
"I'm sure there are other places," she says happily, "Like the pub with your mates,"
[color=ed1c24]"N-no! No![/color][color=ed1c24] There's no place I'd rather be[/color][color=f7941d] than with you!" I almost scream in excitement.[/color]

[color=f7941d]So,[/color][color=ed1c24] we staked out on a mission, to[/color][color=f7941d] get a house in Kyoto, where we could[/color][color=ed1c24] find our inner peace.[/color][color=f7941d] We would find a place that would[/color][color=ed1c24] make[/color][color=39b54a] our[/color] [color=f7941d]love[/color][color=ed1c24] everlasting[/color],[color=f7941d] and with everything[/color], [color=ed1c24]so[/color][color=f26522] that[/color][color=39b54a] nothing was[/color][color=ed1c24] incomplete.[/color]
[color=ed1c24]"It's[/color][color=f7941d] so [/color][color=ed1c24]easy being with you,"[/color][color=f7941d] I tell her, "It's[/color][color=ed1c24] sacred simplicity.[/color] [color=ed1c24]As long as[/color][color=39b54a]we[/color][color=f7941d] stay[/color] [color=ed1c24]together,[/color] [color=39b54a]there[/color][color=f7941d] really[/color] [color=39b54a]is[/color] [color=ed1c24]no place I'd rather be."[/color]

[color=ed1c24]With every step we take [/color][color=f7941d]down roads, finding a house, from the centre of [/color][color=ed1c24]Kyoto, to the bay[/color],[color=39b54a] we go[/color][color=ed1c24] casually[/color]. [color=39b54a]We[/color][color=f7941d] like[/color][color=ed1c24] different[/color][color=f7941d] houses,[/color] [color=39b54a]but[/color] [color=f7941d]we also like [/color][color=ed1c24]the same[/color][color=f7941d] houses.[/color][color=f7941d] But, it would be nice to [/color][color=39b54a]try a different style[/color][color=f7941d] house.[/color]
[color=ed1c24]"If you have me a chance[/color][color=f7941d] to learn Japanese,[/color] [color=ed1c24]I would take it[/color][color=f7941d] in an instant," I told her.[/color]
[color=39b54a]"It'd[/color][color=39b54a] be[/color] [color=ed1c24]a shot in the dark,[/color][color=f7941d] you're not the best at learning languages," she said to me.[/color]
"I could still take it!" I said optimistically, "You [color=ed1c24]know with all of your heart[/color] that I'd do my best to learn! Then I could stay here, and speak the language, because [color=39b54a]as long as[/color][color=ed1c24] I am with you,[/color] [color=ed1c24]there's no place that I'd rather be!"
[/color]
[color=39b54a]"And as long as I'm[/color][color=ed1c24] with you, there's no place I'd rather be,"[/color][color=f7941d] she says in her sweet voice.
[/color]
[color=ed1c24]"Yeah!"[/color] I shouted, "Yeah! That's the spirit!" I bent down and kissed her, and then, to her surprise, got on one knee, and proposed to her, there and then, at the bay. "Will you marry me?" I asked her.
"Yes!" she screamed, "Yes! Of course!"
I put the ring on her finger, stared in her eyes, and then, as the sun set, in unison, we said, "[color=39b54a]As long as[/color][color=39b54a] I'm [/color][color=ed1c24]with you, there's no place I'd rather be." [/color]

[hider=The Song's Lyrics]
Lyrics
Oh
We're a thousand miles from comfort, we have traveled land and sea
But as long as you are with me, there's no place I'd rather be
I would wait forever, exalted in the scene
As long as I am with you, my heart continues to beat

With every step we take, Kyoto to The Bay
Strolling so casually
We're different and the same, gave you another name
Switch up the batteries

If you gave me a chance I would take it
It's a shot in the dark but I'll make it
Know with all of your heart, you can't shame me
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
Ooh ooh

We staked out on a mission to find our inner peace
Make it everlasting so nothing's incomplete
It's easy being with you, sacred simplicity
As long as we're together, there's no place I'd rather be

With every step we take, Kyoto to The Bay
Strolling so casually
We're different and the same, gave you another name
Switch up the batteries

If you gave me a chance I would take it
It's a shot in the dark but I'll make it
Know with all of your heart, you can't shame me
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be

When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be (Yeah)

Hoo
(Be)
Yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah, yeah, yeah

If you gave me a chance I would take it
It's a shot in the dark but I'll make it
Know with all of your heart, you can't shame me
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be

When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be[/hider]
Again, I am highly surprised to see a piece like this here. Inspired by a song does not mean over half the story should be lyrics. Even changed, rearranged, and modified, it's plagiarism. It's not original, It's not unique. What it is, is highly disappointing.

I will not be responding to you further, [@Alice]. I'm sorry you feel that way, and your defense of the piece of honorable, however, I am set in my ways. So, there's no sense in pointlessly arguing, because I am not going to change my opinion.
