For the Love of You
Will & Rainbow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A man in my shoes runs a light
And all the papers lied tonight
But falling over you
Is the news of the day
Angels fall like rain
And love is all of heaven away

Inside you the time moves
And she don't fade
The ghost in you
She don't fade
Inside you the time moves
And she don't fade

A race is on I'm on your side
And hearing you my engines die
I'm in a mood for you
For running away
Stars come down in you
And love, you can't give it away

Inside you the time moves
And she don't fade
The ghost in you
She don't fade
Inside you the time moves
And she don't fade

Don't you go
It makes no sense
When all your talking supermen
Just take away the time
And get in the way
Ain't it just like rain
And love is only heaven away

Inside you the time moves
And she don't fade
The ghost in you
She don't fade




Inside you the time moves
And she don't fade

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Will & Rainbow's song, For the Love of You, convey a deep love and devotion towards the person they are singing to. The song begins with a man running a red light and the papers lying about it, implying that he is so infatuated with this person that he is losing touch with reality. Falling over this person is the news of the day, which means that they are the most important thing in his life. The idea of "Angels fall like rain" suggests that he sees this person as an angelic figure, while "love is all of heaven away" shows that this person is the key to love and happiness in his life.


The second verse continues to describe the depth of his feelings for this person. "Inside you the time moves, and she don't fade" indicates that time passes without them losing any of their magic or appeal. He goes on to describe a race, saying he is on this person's side and his engines die when he hears them. This paints a picture of how much this person means to him and how far he would go to support them. The stars coming down in them means that this person is the embodiment of beauty and wonder. Lastly, "love, you can't give it away" implies that this person is the source of love and that it is impossible to give away something that they possess.


The last verse of the song is a plea for this person to stay, as it "makes no sense" for them to go. The singer feels that people who are always talking about superheroes are wasting time and getting in the way. The comparison to rain suggests that this love is abundant and unrelenting. And once again, he repeats the idea that this person is the key to heaven and love, ending the song with the line "Inside you the time moves, and she don't fade."

And she don't fade
Nevertheless, your love is not elusive, fleeting or superficial, but rather, it is a constant and permanent source of light and guidance for me, and I am grateful and humble to have it in my life.
