Song for You
The Poodles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you can see me now.
If you can hear me now.

So long, I will see you again.
I don't know how, and I don't know when.
But I've seen this phase before.
(Ah) Who knows what we leave behind?
What we had is surely hard to resign.
You keep me, I be coming back for more.
You and me go back a long, long time.
I know you well enough to, read your mind.

If you can see me now.
I'm wasting my time, try to get by.
This is my song for you.
If you can hear me now.
I wait for a sign, to bring back the time.
This is my song for you.

It's been this way before.
You come and go, this time I'd had to know.
What goes on inside of you.
It's not so hard to see.
The consequences of the life that we leaved.
So tell me, what it means to you.
Sometimes it all come's shining through.
What I miss the most, is talk to you.

If you can see me now.
I'm wasting my time, try to get by.
This is my song for you.
If you can hear me now.
I wait for a sign, to bring back the time.
This is my song for you.

Sometimes you far away from me.
Away to reach, and I do believe.
You're tired of making plans that no one's attended to keep.

If you can see me now.
I'm wasting my time, try to get by.
This is my song for you (If you can see me now.)
If you can hear me now.
This is my song for you. (For you)

If you can see me now. (If you can see me now.)
This is my song for you.
If you can hear me now.
This is my song for you.
If you can see me now.
This is my song for you.




If you can hear me now.
This is my song for you.
