I Would Do Anything for You Lyrics

Never wanna stand up for myself
Never wanna get in the way, I said it
I don’t know what the plan is,
But you can share with me, ‘cause I’ll
Be listening here,
To everything you say, I won’t turn away
And I will listen, open up my heart...

    The "better this time than ever before" part is because a lot of the times people try and fill voids in themselves with hollow relationships. Before you give you're life to God you don't know what real love is because people can fail you, but God never fails you and He is perfect love.

    I think it's about God. The reason its "better this time than ever before" is that it isn't a relationship with a person that can fail him but one with God that won't. I honestly don't see how, even if you don't believe in God, you could interpret these lyrics as being about a person. The verses sound like he's using lyrics straight out of a worship song.

    I think this song isn't about God, because there's line "I've fallen in love and its better this time than ever before" do you love someone/something before you love your God?

    I can see where everyone is getting god from, and those people may be right. Foster did drugs back then and Helena Beat is about how he regrets it. This song could be about how he is in lve with god for being with him after all of the things he's done. Orrrr it could just be about a girl.

    I think its about giving your all to someone only to get friend-zoned. Then pretending like you aren't friend zoned, and that they secretly love you, but in reality they don't.

    Its about making mistakes and choosing the wrong girl in the past but now he has fallen for someone who he loves and its "better this time, than ever before"
    Amazing.

    I agree with the others. I can't see how this can be about anything other than God. And that just makes me love this song even more.

    unless he says otherwise, i cannot see anything else than God here. never wanna stand upon myself. your plan with me. I give it all into your hands. do what you will with me. If that's not about God, then he stole lines from Tim Tebow huddles.

    Its a song about a girl he has totally fallen in love with. He has made some mistakes ("Strange life I live but it's what you've decided" Where the "you've" refers to himself) but through all of them she has stayed with him. He has put all of his trust in this girl and she hasn't abused it. He found his true love and is singing about it.

    The song is talking about his love for God, it sounds like. but it could also be about a girlfriend.
