Love You for a Long Time
Maggie Rogers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a bright new dream that I was steppin' in
I saw your face and I knew it was a sign
And I still think about that moment all of the time
You know that I could never make this up
I found the reason I'm not givin' it up
I felt the fever when I knew he was mine
And in the mornin' when I'm wakin' up
I swear that you're the first thing that I'm thinkin' of
I feel it in my body, know it in my mind, oh, I
I'm gonna love you for a long time
I'm gonna love you for a long time
I'm gonna love you for a long time
Oh, I never knew it, yeah, you took me by surprise
While I was gettin' lost so deep inside your diamond eyes
So many things that I still wanna say
And if devotion is a river, then I'm floatin' away
And in the mornin' when you pick me up
And all the world is quiet, 'cept the mourning dove
I feel it in my body, know it in my mind, oh, I
I'm gonna love you for a long time
I'm gonna love you for a long time
I'm gonna love you for a long time
Oh, don't slow down now, gonna break me down
Keep your hands in my hair, keep your mouth on my mouth
Don't slow this down, never let me go
Baby, don't you wanna see how far this thing can go?
And in the mornin' when you wrap me up
I know that forever could never be enough
I feel it in my body, know it in my mind, oh, I
I'm gonna love you for a long time
I'm gonna love you for a long time
I'm gonna love you for a long time
For a long time
Oh, I'm gonna love you for a long time
Ooh, I'm gonna love you for a long time
Yeah, I'm gonna love you for a long time
Won't you keep lettin' me love you for a long time?
For a long, long, long, long time
I'm gonna love you for a long time

Came in like a vision from the old west wind
You appeared unexpectedly, like a vision brought in by the wind from the Western times
Like a bright new dream that I was stepping in
It felt like I was living in a new and exciting dream as soon as I met you
I saw your face and I knew it was a sign
When I saw you, I felt like it was a signal for me to believe in destiny
And I still think about that moment all of the time
That moment when I met you is something that my mind keeps coming back to, and I can't stop thinking about it
You know that I could never make this up
I couldn't have made up my feelings for you even if I wanted to
I found the reason I'm not giving up
I have found the reason why I won't quit on love, and it's you
I felt the fever and I knew he was mine
When I felt a sudden passion towards you, I realized that we were meant to be together
Oh I, I'm gonna love you for a long time
I am sure that I will love you for an extensive period of time
And in the morning when I'm waking up
When I wake up each morning
I swear that you're the first thing that I'm thinking of
You're the first thought that immediately comes to my mind
I feel it in my body, know it in my mind
My body and mind both indicate that my love for you is strong and real
Oh I, I'm gonna love you for a long time
My love for you will last for an extended period of time
Ooh, don't slow down now, gonna break me down
Don't stop the intensity of our love, it will crush me
Keep your hands in my hair, keep your mouth on my mouth
Hold me close and kiss me passionately
Don't slow this down, never let me go
Don't let anything hinder our love or pull us apart
Baby, don't you wanna see how far this thing can go?
Don't you want to explore how much deeper our love can become?
And in the morning when you wake me up
When you wake me up each morning
I know that forever could never be enough
I realize that even eternity would not be sufficient to express my love for you
Oh I, I'm gonna love you for a long time
My love for you will endure for an extended period of time
Won't you keep me, let me love you for a long time?
Can't you hold on to me and allow me to love you for a long time?
For a long, long, long, long time
For a duration that might seem everlasting
I'm gonna love you for a long time
My love for you will persist for an extended period of time

absolutely obsessed!
[Verse 1]
Came in like a vision from the old west wind
Like a bright new dream that I was stepping in
I saw your face and I know it was a sign
And I still think about that moment all of the time
[Verse 2]
You know that I can never make this up
I found the reason I'm not giving up
I fought the fever and I know it was mine
Oh, I am going to love you for a long time
[Chorus]
And in the morning when I'm waking up
I swear you're the first thing that I'm thinking of
I feel it in my body, know it in my mind
Oh, I, I'm gonna love you for a long time
I'm gonna love you for a long time
I'm gonna love you for a long time
[Verse 3]
Oh, I never knew it
Yeah, you took me by surprise
While I was getting lost so deep inside your diamond eyes
So many things that I still wanna say
And if devotion is a river, then I'm floating away
[Chorus]
And in the morning when you pick me up
And all the world is quiet except the mourning dove
I feel it in my body, know it in my mind
Oh, I, I'm gonna love you for a long time
I'm gonna love you for a long time
I'm gonna love you for a long time
[Bridge]
Oh, don't slow down now
Come and break me down
Keep your hands in my hands
Keep your mouth on my mouth
Don't slow this down
Never let me go
Baby, don't you want to see how far this thing can go?
[Chorus]
And in the morning when you wake me up
I know that forever could never be enough
I feel it in my body, know it in my mind
Oh, I, I'm gonna love you for a long time
I'm gonna love you for a long time
I'm gonna love you for a long time
For a long time
Oh, I'm gonna love you for a long time
[Outro]
Yeah, I'm gonna love you for a long time
Won't you keep letting me love you for a long time?
For a long time
Oh, I'm gonna love you for a long time
Gonna love you for a long time

She's Amazing.
@anniemeek3656
It’s so obvious she went back to her roots for this and I love it so much
@tuesday4568
The banjo!!!
@tomferguson9250
Not many songs that you can genuinely "feel" but this is definitely one of them
@shakkkkkeittttt
The melody has a fleetwood mac “dreams” feel and the “woohoo-hops” give me talking heads “this must be the place” vibes. The song, overall, tho, is pure Maggie Rogers magic.
