Good For You
Marianas Trench/Kate Voegele Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I can't find my breathe, can we just say the rest with no sound.
And I know this isn't enough, I still don't measure up.
And I'm not prepared, sorry is never there when you need it.
And I do want you know I hold you up above everyone.
And I do want you know I think you'd be good to me
And I'd be so good to you.
I would.
Thought I saw a sign, somewhere between the lines.
Maybe it's me, maybe I only see, what I want.
But I still have your letter, to stock up between?
Someone I just invented, and who I really am and who I've become.
And I do want you know I hold you up above everyone.
And I do want you know I think you'd be good to me
And I'd be so good to you.
Woahh
You bring me higher.
Yeah.
I would.
And I do want you know I hold you up above everyone.
And I do want you know I think you'd be good to me
And I'd be so good to you.
I'd be good to you,
I'd be good to you,
I'd be good to you
The song "Good To You" by Marianas Trench and featuring Kate Voegele is a ballad about unrequited love and the struggle to communicate feelings. The opening lines suggest that the singer is surrounded by people but unable to express what they want to say. They struggle to find the right words and end up feeling suffocated instead. Despite their desire to communicate, they don't feel like they measure up and may be afraid of rejection.
In the next verse, the singer grapples with their own feelings and doubts. They mention seeing a sign, which could be interpreted as a sign from the person they're in love with or a metaphorical sign of hope. Regardless, they acknowledge that they might be reading too much into things and projecting their own desires onto the situation. They hold onto a letter from the person they love, which serves as a tangible reminder of their feelings. The final chorus repeats the titular phrase, with the singer declaring that they would be good to the person they love if only given the chance.

Ok... so heres my two cents. Personally I love both versions for completely different reasons. The version with Jessica Lee I love because the feel of the song is the excitement and wonder that comes with every new relationship. Now this version reminds me of my relationship with my wife. Its much more passionate over excitement and their voices meld much better than Josh and Jessica (not saying that version is bad). It really just depends on my mood to determine which version i listen to, but that being said I think we can all agree that Marianas Trench is an amazing band. :)

Not to mention the fact that I've listened to this song at least 20 times a day for the last 2 months because that's when I discovered who they were lol. :) 3 years later and they're still capturing hearts. Good job Marianas Trench.
