The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
For You I Will
演唱：Tata Young
Tata Young-For You I Will
When you're feeling lost in the night
When you feel your world just ain't right
Call on me,I will be waiting
Count on me,I will be there
Anytime the times get too tough
Anytime your best ain't enough
I'll be the one to make it better
I'll be there to protect you
see you through
I'll be there,and there is nothing
I won't do
I will cross the ocean for you
I will go and bring you the moon
I will be your hero,your strength
Anything you need
I will be the sun in your sky
I will light your way for all time
Promise you,for you I will
Tata Young-For You I Will
I will shield your heart from the rain
I won't let no harm come your way
Oh these arms will be your shelter
No these arms won't let you down
If there is a mountain to move
I will move that mountain for you
I'm here for you,I'm here forever
I will be your fortress
tall and strong
I'll keep you safe,I'll stand beside you
right or wrong
I will cross the ocean for you
I will go and bring you the moon
I will be your hero,your strength
Anything you need
I will be the sun in your sky
I will light your way for all time
Promise you,for you I will
For you I will
lay my life on the line
For you I will fight
for you I will die
With every breath,with all my soul
I'll give my word,I'll give it all
Put your faith in me
And I'll do anything
I will cross the ocean for you
I will go and bring you the moon
I will be your hero,your strength
Anything you need
I will be the sun in your sky
I will light your way for all time
Promise you,for you I will
Promise you,for you I will

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
