Song for You
Bridgit Mendler ft. Shane Harper Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Didn't know what to get you
Ordinary just wouldn't do
But I just found the perfect gift
For you

Now I got it already
But it's not wrapped in red or green
Come and sit down beside me here

Under neath the Christmas tree

We got mistletoe
And firelight
On this cold December night

The snow outside
Will set the mood
As I sing my song for you

I hear church bells are ring-ing-ing-ing
Charles are singing
Harmony with me now

You are looking so lovely yeah!
Even if the lights go out

We got mistletoe
And firelight
On this cold December night

The snow outside
Will set the mood
As I sing my song for you

Your so beautiful
I only hope you see what I see
See yeah!

Everyone is meant to
Show you how much you mean to me

We got mistletoe
And firelight
On this cold December night

The snow outside
Will set the mood
As I sing my song

We got mistletoe
And firelight
On the cold December night

The snow outside
Will set the mood
As I sing my song

Sing my song
Sing my song for you

Line by Line Meaning

Didn't know what to get you
I was unsure of what to give you

Ordinary just wouldn't do
A regular gift wouldn't suffice

But I just found the perfect gift
I have finally found the perfect present

For you
For you, specifically

Now I got it already
I have already obtained the gift

But it's not wrapped in red or green
It is not packaged in typical holiday wrapping

Come and sit down beside me here
Join me and sit next to me

Underneath the Christmas tree
Beneath the festive tree

We got mistletoe
Mistletoe is present

And firelight
A warm, inviting fire is burning

On this cold December night
It is cold outside, and it is December
