A Song for You
Full On Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby you should know
Been up and down to reach you, I'm hanging on that roof to tell you so
I just can't let go
Weary in my head, crazy, is what you said
What am I supposed to do, I'm just a fool for you
Baby there's no rain
It's so hard to hide my fear, I'm fighting my own weakness but it's no game
I got myself to blame
Weary in my head, crazy, is what you said
What am I supposed to do, I'm just a fool for you
Running through this madness, my secret is on hold so no one knows
Baby no one knows
There's just one simple question, but I will surely lose control if you say no
If you say no
Weary in my head, crazy, is what you said
What am I supposed to do, I'm just a fool for you
Moonshine full of sparkles, footprints on my soul and you should know
The lyrics to Full On's song "A Song For You" describe the intense emotions of someone who is deeply in love but struggling to express their feelings. The opening lines, "Moonshine full of sparkles, footprints on my soul and you should know, Baby you should know," suggest a sense of magic and wonder associated with love. The singer's soul has been marked by their lover, leaving an indelible impression. They feel that their beloved should be aware of the impact they have had on them.
The singer goes on to describe their journey to reach their lover, using the image of hanging on a roof to show their determination to express themselves. However, they are unable to let go of their feelings, even though the situation is overwhelming. They feel like a "fool" for their intense emotions and the sacrifices they have made to pursue their love.
The chorus repeats the phrase "weary in my head, crazy, is what you said," suggesting that the singer's emotions are causing them to feel uncertain and doubting themselves. This is compounded by the line "I'm drowning in this whirlpool, shivering and feeling cold but there's no rain," implying that the turmoil they feel is internal and not caused by external factors. The singer is locked in a battle with their own weakness and fear of rejection.
The final verse introduces the idea that the singer's love for their partner is a secret, and that the question they are afraid to ask may reveal their feelings to others. The line "my secret is on hold so no one knows" suggests that the singer is afraid of being judged or rejected by the people around them. The fear of hearing their lover say "no" is enough to make them feel like they will "surely lose control."
Overall, "A Song For You" is a poignant expression of the intense emotions associated with deep love and the difficulty of expressing those feelings. The song suggests that love requires courage and sacrifice, even in the face of uncertainty and doubt.

I used to sing this song to my first long term partner. She brought our son into world but tragically she died 5 years later. This was the last song played at her funeral. Hands down the saddest day of my entire life. Every now and then I come back to this beautiful song and think of her and times we shared. Life is a truly incredible experience.. both the good and bad. I'm grateful for both of those extremes, because as much as its hurts to look back and remember.. It does remind me that I was lucky enough to experience something as precious as the love expressed within this song.

I wish you the best that life has to offer and the ultimate afterlife dear brother... You're a credit to your gender.youre so right..life in all it's extremes is a whirlwind of crescendos and unbridled helplessness. As we look back on it all, we embrace every brilliant moment so thankful for even the painful losses that in time we realize are measured like the numbers on a scale..measuring the mountains of joy by the difference from the depths of loss and despair. Thank you for bringing it all to mind. Have you ever listened to that song, The Dance?? That says it all so sweetly. Love to you and yours
xoxo Marcia in Modesto
