Lyrics
Leave my station where I stood
Leaving a position or situation where the speaker stood.
To lay for a while with you
Choosing to spend time with someone, taking a break.
I got shadows snapping at my tail
Feeling pursued or threatened by unseen troubles or challenges.
Who say I'm no damn good
Facing criticism from others who claim the speaker is not good.
But that's just halfway through
Acknowledging the halfway point in dealing with challenges.
All that I'm good for is you
Expressing that the speaker finds value and purpose primarily in the person addressed.
You know I play with all those strays
Playing with metaphorical "strays" or uncertainties outside the comfort zone.
Prowling outside your door
Being on the fringes, waiting for affection from the person inside.
It's the scraps of love you throw my way
Valuing even small expressions of love received from the person.
That have got me on all fours, I think it's for you
Feeling emotionally vulnerable and connected to the addressed person.
All that I'm good for is you, all that I'm good for is you
Reiterating that the speaker's main worth and purpose revolve around the addressed person.
And I'll leave it behind
Expressing a willingness to leave something important for the sake of being with the person.
To lay down with you
Choosing to be with the person rather than holding onto something significant.
I'll stop running wild
Committing to stop engaging in previous reckless or wild behavior.
Doing what I used to do
Deciding to change old habits and actions for the sake of the relationship.
My whole wide world is out of hand
Describing the speaker's world as chaotic and troublesome.
So crooked it leaves me cryin'
Expressing emotional distress caused by the disorder in the speaker's life.
But your love is straight and narrow
Contrasting the chaos with the stability and direction provided by the person's love.
And it's keeping me in line
Highlighting the positive impact of the person's love in keeping the speaker on the right path.
This love will see me through
Expressing confidence that the person's love will help overcome challenges.
All that I'm good for is you
Reiterating that the speaker's primary value is found in the addressed person.
All that I'm good for is you
Emphasizing again that the speaker's worth is closely tied to the person.
All I'll leave it behind
Repeating the willingness to leave something important for the sake of the relationship.
To lay down with you
Choosing intimacy with the person over other commitments or possessions.
I'll stop running wild
Reaffirming the commitment to stop engaging in previous reckless behavior.
Doing what I used to do
Continuing the pledge to change old habits for the sake of the relationship.
All that I'm good for is you, is you, is you
Summarizing that the speaker's primary value and purpose is found in the addressed person.
All that I'm good for is you
Reiterating that the speaker's worth is intimately connected to the person.
