For My Love Lyrics

Walk towards me
I want to hear
The heavens singing over you
When you breathe
And look at me
I want to be captured by you

Gaze into my eyes
And let me know you’d fight
Thousands, for my love
Slip your hand in mine
Ask me to dance with you tonight
Just ask me for my love

I want to hide
What’s deep in my eyes
I’m scared to be known by you
But when I turn my head
And see you there
I want to be pursued

A dream I won’t wake from
A story that will never end
The ground your feet walk on
Let me be there, let me be there

For My Love It’s deeply rooted in every woman- the question, “Do I stand out in a crowd?” The vision of someone walking across a room and asking me to dance plays over and over in my mind; out of the whole room, I was chosen. I’ll be honest, I’m fifteen… I have crushes… but more than whimsical feelings and fickle emotion, I really do want to be fought for. I long to be recklessly pursued. I’m looking for true love, something honest and untainted, with no hidden agenda but that it wants to chase after me.

That's what she said about it.

i think this song is about someone who just wants someone else to love them, and understand them... also for someone to just be there

Guys...I think it's about God.

There's an analogy that's frequently used in the Bible to describe the church's relationship to Jesus...a marriage. Bethany frequently makes reference to that theme in her music (it's beautiful and really amazing)...she says things like, "All I've ever wanted, and what men have given their lives for, is a God who understand my weaknesses, a God that I can love," and "If only you could see how heaven stills when you speak..." and both of those were talking about God (or from his point of view, in the case of the latter one), not a boy.

What I think is that this song has two sides, a double meaning. I think it could relate to either a relationship with God or another human. I just think it is neat to look at something in a new light sometimes.
