Song for You lyrics

by

Jeff Rosenstock


[Verse 1]
Rejection's a constant, bitterness comes with age
Once or twice a lifetime you get days like today
And I hope no one p*ssed on this milk crate
I hope no p*ssed 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

[Pre-Chorus]
Last night I said, "I love you" without a hint of fear
Last night I said, "I love you"
Nothing exploded, no one disappeared

[Chorus 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Dialogue is diluted by strangers and thin walls
Little murmur runs through the audience the first time he calls
But 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

[Pre-Chorus]
And last night I said, "I love you" without fear
Last night I said, "I love you" and I disappeared

[Chorus 1]
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

[Bridge]
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"
[Chorus 2]
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

[Post-Chorus]
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

[Chorus 2]
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
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
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
