There For You
Gorgon City Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Wish I was there for you)
(Wish I was there for you)
(Was there for you)

Waited so long
Thought you'd never come
You proved me wrong
'Cause I don't know where it felt so right
If I could go
Go back in time
What I would do
Is to love you sooner

I wish I was there for you
I wish I was holding you closer than close every day of your life
Wish I was there for you
And I wish that you were there for me too

Wish I was there for you
(There for you, there for you)
(There for you)
(There for you, there for you)
I wish I was there for you
(There for you, there for you)
(There for you)
(There for you, there for you)
(There for you)
(There for you, there for you)
(There for you)
(There for you, there for you)
I wish I was there for you
And I wish that you were there for me too
(There for you)
(There for you, there for you)

I lose my mind
Going back in time
Were you mine
Oh, mine? Oh oh

So many years, so many tears
Wishing that you were already here
Maybe that's how it needed to be
For you to get to me

I wish I was there for you
I wish I was holding you closer than close every day of your life
I wish I was there for you
'Cause when we're together there's so much to love, there's so little time
I wish I was there for you
Wish I was holding you closer than close every day of your life
I wish I was there for you
And I wish that you were there for me too

Wish I was there for you
(There for you, there for you)
(There for you)
(There for you, there for you)
I wish I was there for you
(There for you, there for you)
(There for you)
(There for you, there for you)
(There for you)
(There for you, there for you
(There for you)
(There for you, there for you)
I wish I was there for you
And I wish that you were there for me too




(There for you)
(There for you, there for you)

The second verse talks about the intense emotions and time spent waiting for this person. The singer expresses hope that perhaps the time spent waiting was necessary for the two to come together. The chorus repeats the same lyrics, with an added line emphasizing that when the two are together, there is a lot of love, but not enough time.

I love this song, the video is amazing, the sequence of going through depression and loneliness seen as a mass of people, drifting in space randomly, without purpouse and suddenly notice someone just penetrating that bubble, catching our attention, making feelings converge with someone so special you both move at the same rythm, ethereal, concluding on pointing the path to self discover and love, leaving every single preoccupation behind.
