Song For You Lyrics
So today I wrote a song for you
Cause a day can get so long
And I know its hard to make it through
When you say there's something wrong
So I'm trying to put it right
Cause I want to love you with my heart
All this trying has made me tight
And I don't know even where to start
Maybe that's a start
Cause you know its a simple game
That you play filling up your head with rain
And you know you are hiding from your pain
In the way, in the way you say your name
And I see you
Hiding your face in your hands
Flying so you won't land
You think no one understands
No one understands
So you hunch your shoulders and you shake your head
And your throat is aching but you swear
No one hurts you, nothing could be sad
Anyway you're not here enough to care
And you're so tired you don't sleep at night
As your heart is trying to mend
You keep it quiet but you think you might
Disappear before the end
And it's strange that you cannot find
Any strength to even try
To find a voice to speak your mind
When you do, all you wanna do is cry
Well maybe you should cry
And I see you hiding your face in your hands
Talking bout far-away lands
You think no one understands
Listen to my hands
And all of this life
Moves around you
For all that you claim
You're standing still
You are moving too
You are moving too
You are moving too
I will move you
Cause a day can get so long
And I know its hard to make it through
When you say there's something wrong
Cause I want to love you with my heart
All this trying has made me tight
And I don't know even where to start
That you play filling up your head with rain
And you know you are hiding from your pain
In the way, in the way you say your name
Hiding your face in your hands
Flying so you won't land
You think no one understands
No one understands
And your throat is aching but you swear
No one hurts you, nothing could be sad
Anyway you're not here enough to care
As your heart is trying to mend
You keep it quiet but you think you might
Disappear before the end
Any strength to even try
To find a voice to speak your mind
When you do, all you wanna do is cry
Talking bout far-away lands
You think no one understands
Listen to my hands
Moves around you
For all that you claim
You're standing still
You are moving too
You are moving too
You are moving too
I will move you

Maybe in this song the real view of the situation can be found in the narrator, the artist it self.
it say a lot of him.
I listened to this for the first time yesterday and thought it was beautiful right from the start. I had a good session of it on repeat today which was nice. I think it's a comforting song. Because I used go through those times frequently when I wanted to disappear or all I wanted do was cry. Sometimes I still feel that way. And I'd never get anywhere if it weren't for the people that cheer me up a little. The lyrics sum up the feelings of loneliness really well when it feels like nobody else knows how you feel. But the song is just about how a person can want to be there for a friend and just listen to what they have to say and make them positive again. I would love this sung to me anytime I'm feeling low.
i'm the first who comments this song? well... you've missed out on something then.
what an amazing song.
yes this is an amazing amazing amazing song, my favorite on "time without consequence"
listening to this song got me through hard times when i wanted to give up... :] it makes me happy to listen to it.
This is a beautiful song. It describes sadness and grief so well, and how when you love someone you just want to make their bad feelings go away.
What an uplifting and loving song this is. I agree with Jwilco.
Great song. I absolutely love "you think no one understands...listen to my hands" and then he goes into a beautiful guitar solo.
I think it's "All this trying has made me tired" not tight. Or at least that makes more sense to me.
