A Song for Everything
Maren Morris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is it Springsteen or Teenage Dream?
What's your takes-you-back?
Your first falling-in-love soundtrack?
When you were lookin' for the words
Somebody said it first so you didn't have to
It was looking right at you
One danced you through love
One rocked you through lonely
Mixtaped your heartbreak and made you feel holy
For the hits and the misses
For the fire and rain
Close your eyes and listen
'Cause there's a song for everything, yeah
There's a song for everything
My first lighter up
Was back when Coldplay still played clubs
My first real goodbye
Damn, that second verse still makes me cry
When I was looking for the words
Somebody said it first like they knew me
They were singing right to me
One danced you through love
One rocked you through lonely
Mixtaped your heartbreak and made you feel holy
For the hits and the misses
For the fire and rain
Close your eyes and listen
'Cause there's a song for everything, yeah
There's a song for everything
There's a song for everything
What's your time machine?
Is it Springsteen or Teenage Dream?
One danced you through love
One rocked you through lonely
Mixtaped your heartbreak and made you feel holy
For the hits and the misses
For the fire and rain
Close your eyes and listen
'Cause there's a song for everything, yeah
There's a song for everything, yeah
There's a song for everything
Ooh
Maren Morris's song "A Song for Everything" is a tribute to the power of music and how it has the ability to evoke memories and emotions. The song starts with a reflective line: "What's your time machine?" suggesting that everyone has a particular song that takes them back in time. Morris specifically mentions the works of Bruce Springsteen and Katy Perry, illustrating how one person's go-to nostalgia track can be vastly different from another's. She asks the listener to recall their "first falling-in-love soundtrack" or a "real goodbye" for which a particular song holds an emotional connection.

That specific part of the song still has a strong emotional impact on you
Somebody said it first like they knew me
Someone else had already put into words exactly what you were feeling
They were singing right to me
It felt like the song was written specifically for you

a.g.
Once, a few months ago, my friend's family and mine were camping together. We were sitting in our tent, and she was making up a story about a girl, and her therapist telling her that there is a song for everything, just like this song states. She made the therapist say, "There is a song for everything. You just have to listen harder than ever to find the lyrics." My friend pictured the girl in the city, sitting on the top of a building, listening to the sounds of the city... Eventually, she found the lyrics.
This comment is dedicated to my friend... And I hope that eventually, you will find the lyrics to your life.
<3 Love you, bestie.
