Only For You
Matthew Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When memories come and go
You're all I've ever wanted
You're all I've ever known
Can I be happy
Living with your ghost?
The pictures tell the story
It's hard enough to get through
I still can feel the fall
Do you even think of me at all?
Oh, I want you
Only you
I want you
Only you
I can start it over
And find somebody new
A beautiful distraction
Just a hand to hold on to
But if you ask me
Would that love be true?
No, I want you
Only you
I want you
Only you
I want to taste you again
Like a secret or a sin
Breathin' out, breathin' in
There is no one else for me
I want you
Only you
I want you
Only you
I want you
Only you
I want you
Only you
I want you
Only you
The lyrics to Matthew’s song “Only for You” seem to be about a person who has left, possibly a lover or a friend, and the singer is left feeling sad and alone. The singer acknowledges that the person has the right to go and live their life as they choose, but if they ever find themselves in need of love or support, they know they can always come to the singer for help. The singer reflects on the fact that this person is a “fair weather friend,” meaning they only stick around during good times, but the singer still welcomes them back with open arms.
The chorus says “Cry, baby, cry until tomorrow / Heaven knows when you'll be back again / Cry, baby, cry until tomorrow / Heaven knows if you'll be back again.” This seems to suggest that the singer knows the person will continue to come and go, and there will be times when they are apart from each other. However, the singer is still willing to offer comfort and friendship during these times of separation.
Overall, the lyrics of the song seem to be about unconditional love and friendship. The singer is willing to be there for this person no matter what, and even though they may not always be around, the singer’s love and support will remain constant.
Line by Line Meaning
Maybe I'm sad, maybe you're gone
I am uncertain about my emotions because you might have left me.
Maybe you're right, baby, all along
You may have been correct in your decisions.
Baby, just go and set yourself free
You should pursue what makes you happiest.
But if you're, if you're looking for love, come see about me
However, if you are seeking affection, I am always here for you.
Maybe you've gone back on the road again
Perhaps you have resumed your travels.
Walk past my door and know you've got a friend
Even if you are passing by, I am still here for you.
Well, I hope you find what you've been looking for
I hope you discover what you have been seeking.
And if you're chasing your tail, don't pay it no mind
If you feel like you are not making progress, do not let it bother you.
Ain't got no particular place, no particular plan
There is no need to worry about having a set destination or schedule.
My fair weather friend, you're welcome anytime
You are my companion for better or worse, and may visit me at any time.
That smile of yours can cross a thousand miles
I can imagine your smile even if you are far away.
I know you live to learn, and learnin' suits you fine
I understand that you have a passion for acquiring knowledge, and it makes you content.
Cry, baby, cry until tomorrow, Heaven knows when you'll be back again
You may cry and express your emotions until the next day, and we cannot predict when we will see each other next.
Baby, baby, baby, get back on the road again
You should recommence your journey.
But if you're, if you're looking for love, come see about me
Just keep in mind that if you want love, I will always be here for you.
