I Would For You Lyrics

Oh baby
I'm so tired
A man, from the government
Man, from the tax board
Man, in the public school
Man, own's the golden rule
I'm everybody's slave
I made you my slave
You said
This I do for you
If I would help
To give the world back
What it gave
Then I would
I would
I would
I would
I would for you
I would for you
You say my eyes
Are crazy eyes
Sometimes they are
And so are you
And if you wonder
What I would do
I would do
Anything
If I could
You know I would
I would
I would
I would for you
I would for you
I would for you
I would for you,
I would for you

I'v never heard the song either, but it's obviously about his lover Casey.

I think it’s about maintaining a relationship while having an intense fear of abandonment. It could be any kind of relationship, familial, between homies, or romantic. The fear of abandonment is likely rooted in a drug addiction or severe depression.

He’s asking the person to stay with him and promising them something if they do. “I would for you” means one of two things. I’ll either go to rehab and make a serious attempt to get clean, or I’ll choose not to kill myself. “I would for you.” But only if you stay with me. Don’t make me do this by myself.

He’s begging a person to stay in his life because he thinks they’ll cut him off due to whatever the struggle is. The song is about an intense fear of abandonment.
