Her
The What...For! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm at Soundcheck
She deserves more than I can give her
She's the field and I'm the shiver
She awaits packages I deliver
She deserves more than I can give her
She knows one day she'll have it better
I'm the post man and I didn't write the letter
But I'm the cloud and she waits for sunny weather
She deserves more than I can give her
She's the field and I'm the shiver
She awaits packages I deliver
She deserves more than I can give her
She knows one day she'll have it better
I'm the post man and I didn't write the letter
Well I tried and I try and I'll try forever
But I'm the cloud and she waits for sunny weather
The lyrics to The What...For!'s song "Her" portray a sense of longing and inadequacy on the part of the singer towards the titular "her." At the beginning of the song, the singer asks "where you at?" before admitting that he is at "Soundcheck." This detail helps to contextualize his feelings, as Soundcheck is typically a behind-the-scenes place where musicians test their instruments and equipment before a performance. It's possible that the singer is using this moment of preparation to reflect on his personal life, particularly his relationship with "her."
The rest of the lyrics describe the singer's belief that "she deserves more than I can give her." He compares her to a field while acknowledging that he is only a "shiver" in comparison. The imagery of a field suggests growth, openness, and potential, while the shiver represents something small and transient. The singer recognizes that he can only deliver packages to her, rather than offer her the kind of fulfilling, stable experience she deserves.
Despite his awareness of his own shortcomings, the singer holds onto hope that things will get better for her. He describes himself as the postman who did not write the letter, suggesting that he is only a messenger for a larger force determining their relationship. However, he still vows to keep trying for her, even though he is just a "cloud" and she waits for the "sunny weather" that he cannot provide.

Lyrics:
I guess I knew this would happen to you
Inside I did what I refused to know the truth
I'm heading back inside sitting alone with you
I think I know what's wrong
My friends put on their bravest face
The tails between their legs is only out of place
I bet their mothers let them know what I'm about to face
Keep your mouth zipped, son
Baby I've been there before
I was at the point where all I really wanted was someone
And now I'm still hanging on
I was at the end of every tether waiting for what once was
Tell me all important stuff
What's your favourite colour?
What makes you so tough?
Please don't let go when you've had enough
I'm on my knees
Baby I've been there before
I was at the point where all I really wanted was someone
And now I'm still hanging on
I was at the end of every tether waiting for what once was
Baby I've been there before
I was at the point where all I really wanted was someone
And now I'm still hanging on
I was at the end of every tether waiting for what once was
Waiting for my love
Waiting for

My soulmate and I’s?
Does that sound right to you?
I mean, nice sentiment etc but would you say, for example, “chocolate is I’s favourite ice cream”?
Perhaps it doesn’t matter.
Perhaps it does.
Amazing song btw!

Stephen started writing this song when he was very young. His mom passed away when he was a kid, so this is about her. A lot of the songs are about his mom.
