Lyrics
Song For You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Rejections a constant, bitterness comes with age
Once or twice a lifetime you get days like today
And I hope no one pissed on this milk crate
I hope no pissed on this milk crate
Where there's no tidying up
And nothing falls and no one breaks
You can't say I'm disgusting
If you don't mean it that way
And I hope no one comes down this laneway
I hope no one comes down this laneway
And I woke up before the sun in the arms of a tough girl
Heard me speaking lately you've
Heard me speaking about her and
Last night I said: I love you without a hint of fear
Last night I said: I love you nothing exploded, no one disappeared
And the realisation shatters through me
That I'm the villain in this movie
But I've got no script and no direction
I just want you to let me love you
I just want you to let me love you
I just wanted you to let me
Dialogue is diluted by strangers and thin walls
Little murmur runs through the audience
The first time he calls
You hang up and a sinking feeling falls amongst the crowd
Someone whispers to their wife
My God, what's she doing now?
My future never really mattered much at all
I mutter to you down a telephone lying on the bathroom floor
And last night I said: I love you without fear
Last night I said: I love you and I disappeared
And the realisation shatters through me
That I'm the villain in this movie
But I've got no script and no direction
I just want you to let me love you
I just want you to let me love you
I just wanted you to let me
And all I think I'd need to cast off insecurities
Is for you to write something for me
Like I write for you incessantly
But I don't live in your mind the way that you do in mine
And my feet stick to the floor of the shower
But we get evicted in three-quarters of an hour
And you rub papaw on a new tattoo and say
One day there'll be a song about you
One day there'll be a song for you
One day there'll be a song about you
One day there'll be a song for you
One day there'll be a song about you
And I know that you hated me that time
But I've made up for that now haven't I?
Soaked in spotlights spitting vitriol without the corresponding kind
One day there'll be a song for you
One day there'll be a song about you
One day there'll be a song for you
One day there'll be a song about you
