For You
Angus & Julia Stone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I talk real slowly
If I try real hard
To make my point dear
That you have my heart
Here I go

I'll tell you
What you already know
Here I go
I'll tell you
What you already know

If you love me, with all of your heart
If you love me, I'll make you a star in my universe
You'll never have to go to work
You'll spend everyday, shining your light my way

If I talk real slowly
If I hold your hand
If you look real closely my love
You might understand
Here I go

I'll tell you
What you already know
Here I go
I'll tell you
What you already know

If you love me, with all that you are
If you love me I'll make you a star in my universe
You'll never have to go to work
You'll spend everyday, shining your light my way

Here I go

I'll tell you
What you already know
Here I go
I'll tell you
What you already know

If you love me, with all of your heart
If you love me, I'll make you a star in my universe




You'll never have to go to work
You'll spend everyday, shining your light my way

I'm rewatching "Revenge", and I just remembered that I always wanted to search for this song, because it was even featured on the teasers. Well, 9 years later, here I am! 😁

@jonathanking8429

Hows your rewatch going? I tried a marathon but it just sorta fell a little flat for me after the first season...

It was the first episode that brought me here and haven't stopped listening to Angus&Julia since then,over a year ago.Revenge, what a series it has been and would have loved to have seen more of Emily&Amanda but all good things must come to an end :)

@savannavickers6762

I fell in love with this song at the age of 12 because of the way it sounded, now at 22 I love it because I understand the lyrics.
