Cover art for For You lyrics by Barenaked Ladies

hey colum1225, what do you mean by "hits WAY to close to home?" If you're saying that the song is a repeat of the concept of the song "Home", then you're incorrect. This song came three years before Home.

By using the phrase "hits way too close to home" he is saying that the themes of this song are frighteningly close to his current situation.
