For You Lyrics

Cover art for For You lyrics by Sarah Blasko

This song is about lost love. Whe you know so much about each other and come so far together. You have come so far it feels like "travelling across the sea." And when that is suddenly over, we mourn it's loss.

Singing in hope, convincing herself that because emotions run so deep that time has to come around for the couple again, that it cannot just end so definately.

People get tired in relationships. Not of the love, but of the relationship. I think this is a really beautiful way of saying that the relationship has ended. Saying "We'll lie and rest now, I'll dream of you." Its almost like a eautifully tragic sense of denial.

Once again, she is repeating that emotions run deep between between people like them, people with such a connection. She is having faith. Convincing herself that she believes that they will be together again.

Reflecting on what people have told her about real, about true love never ending. The cup is her overflowing emotions. There is so much to deal with that all she can do is convince herself to believe. The repetition at the end of the song is a really lovely way of affirming that. This song is really quite quaint and hopeful.
