Lyrics

All of my life
All of my life been waiting on you
Swallow my pride
Night after night
Ignoring every other thing
That isn't bowing to your holy scepter
Kiss your finger

Can you bless me with music music
I give it all to music music
I'm dreaming of the muses muses
But you're the only one
That I sing for
Reaching out out the car door
For you for you

I'll only ever sing for you
In every note in every tune
I'm only ever I'm only ever
I'm only ever singing for you
I'm only ever singing for you
I'm only ever singing for you
I'm only ever singing for you
For you for you
Ah

Music music
We're making love and music music
I'm dreaming and I'm lucid lucid
And you're the one that I fly with
Soaring in the sky with you with you
I'll only ever sing for you
In every note in every tune

I'm only ever I'm only ever
I'm only ever singing for you
I'm only ever singing for you
I'm only ever singing for you
I'm only ever singing for you
For you for you for you for you
I'm only ever singing for you
All of my life all of my life
For you for you
All of my life all of my life
For you for you

Track five on I, out ahead of the LP as a single. On a record where I is a moving coordinate around someone else, this is the vow: a working musician's all of my life been waiting on you, where even the dream of muses gets replaced. The job description rewrites itself, from singing about u to singing for u.

Not the grief of see you again?, not the distance of chasing the sunset. This is the present-tense yes.
