The song "War For You" by Chris Brown is a love song that talks about the singer's willingness to fight for his love. At the beginning of the song, he asks the object of his affection if she would consider giving him a chance by asking if she would say yes if he asked to kiss her or if she would turn away. He then admits that he has many wild thoughts racing through his mind about her, indicating his strong feelings towards her.
The chorus repeats the sentiment that he is willing to wait for her and go through any hardship to make it work. The line, "We can travel to space as long as I got you right here next to me" represents the idea that nothing else matters as long as he has her love. The singer makes a promise to his love that he will wait for her because he just wants to love her.
The second verse continues with the idea that he will do whatever it takes to keep her with him, while also acknowledging that it has been a while since they started waiting for each other. Despite this, he maintains that he won't complain because he is happy to have her by his side. The overall message of the song is that love is worth fighting for, even if it takes time and effort, and that the waiting and the struggle will be worth it in the end.
