Anything For You
Brendan James Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Woke up early from my bed
With a secret in my head
In the back of my backyard
I keep a spaceship in the shed

I lit the engine and took the sky
From up here it looks so nice
I didn't stop until the moon, where I
Picked a flower just for you

[Chorus]
And I fell down to you in a parachute of
Newspaper rubber bands, tape, and glue
So you would see I would do anything for you
Anything for you

I didn't want to wake you up,
So I put the flower in a cup
On the floor next to your bed
Without a sound I laid my head

Drifted off into a dream
Of what has been and what could be
I saw your tears, I saw you fall
But I saw us rise, I saw it all

And I fell down to you in a parachute of
Newspaper rubber bands, tape, and glue
So you would see that I would do anything for you
Anything for you

And I never want you to know
All of the lengths I'll go
To find where the flowers grow

Love is never supposed to be
A present under our tree
I do it because I believe

[Chorus]

I fell down to you in a parachute of
Newspaper rubber bands, tape, and glue
So you would see that I would do anything for you
Anything for you





Anything for you

One thing I look for in a composer-singer song writer is lyrical and emotional integrity, accompanied by music which accomplishs the same when they are played together, James has that incredible ability in every one of his songs. He has the lyrical writing style of all the greats from Jackson Browne, Dylan, and of course Bruce Springsteen. Brendan is coming on strong and for me I intend to keep an eye and ear on this wonderfully gifted youg man on his rise.............
