Gorgeous, gilded songwriting, Nick Wilson’s work is worth aligning next to Bon Iver or Ben Howard, with elements of Phoebe Bridgers’ emotional heft in there, too. As Nick puts it, he’s infatuated by the craft of songwriting. “The lovely thing about it,” he insists, “is that you can have these little pockets of space to play around in, but then you can do things really quickly off the back of them because they’re not quite tied in together. They can be separate things.”
All For You
Nick Wilson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm drinking from the sweetest cup
And I know it was you I was looking for
I keep my back against the door
I'm not leaving
Life is so much brighter, when you don't
Do you feel it too, love?
'Cause I never thought I'd find a love like this
A love like this
It's all for you, love
If only we were closer, now
We could run wild in the open
Make unspoken vows
And I know it was you I was looking for
So I'll hold you closer than before
I'm not leaving
The world is so much easier
When there's someone there to show you how
It's all for you, love
Do you feel it, too, love?
'Cause I never thought I'd find a love like this
A love like this
It's all for you, love
It's all for you, love
Do you feel it, too, love?
