For the Love of You
Jason Weaver Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

A man in my shoes runs a light
And all the papers lied tonight
But falling over you
Is the news of the day
Angels fall like rain
And love is all of heaven away

Inside you the time moves

And she don't fade
The ghost in you
She don't fade
Inside you the time moves
And she don't fade

A race is on I'm on your side
And hearing you my engines die
I'm in a mood for you
For running away
Stars come down in you
And love, you can't give it away

Inside you the time moves
And she don't fade
The ghost in you
She don't fade
Inside you the time moves
And she don't fade

Don't you go
It makes no sense
When all your talking supermen
Just take away the time
And get in the way
Ain't it just like rain
And love is only heaven away

Inside you the time moves
And she don't fade
The ghost in you
She don't fade

Inside you the time moves
And she don't fade

Overall Meaning

Jason Weaver's song "For the Love of You" is a contemplative track that explores timeless themes of love, loss, and the ways in which we are shaped and moved by others. The opening line, "a man in my shoes runs a light," sets a tone of urgency and desperation that permeates throughout the entire song. The image of a man willing to make reckless decisions for the sake of love is powerful, and it's clear that the singer is willing to do whatever it takes to be with the object of his affection.

Despite the newspapers claiming otherwise, falling for this person has become the most significant event in the singer's life. The lyric "angels fall like rain, and love is all of heaven away" evokes a sense of wonder and otherworldliness, as if the singer is experiencing something truly extraordinary. The idea that love is a divine force is not a new one, but it's portrayed in a fresh and compelling way here.

The chorus of the song is a repeating cycle of "inside you the time moves and she don't fade, the ghost in you she don't fade." This repetition can be interpreted in a few different ways, but the most likely is that the singer is acknowledging the timelessness of this relationship. Even though he knows that all things come to an end, he contends that the love he has for this person will never fade away.

A race is on I'm on your side And hearing you my engines die I'm in a mood for you For running away Stars come down in you And love, you can't give it away

Don't you go It makes no sense When all your talking supermen Just take away the time And get in the way Ain't it just like rain And love is only heaven away
Don't leave, it's pointless when there are distractions everywhere
