Fighting For You

by Northern Quarter

/

about

'Figthing For You' is a song about defiance, about standing up for what you believe in no matter what the odds are against you. It's a positive song about coming out on top in the face of adversity. The sonic approach was to be lounge like, but with a motown sound (if not feel)...definitely an old school vibe but with a modern outlook.

lyrics

Been trying to walk a straight line
On this old empty road
Been living on the front line
Of this battle that i've come to know

Not looking for a way out
Just hope you'll understand
Been waiting for my pay out
Or am I just waiting to be dealt a better hand?

Still, won't stop trying
And I won't stop climbing
No I won't stop fighting
No I won't stop, won't stop fighting for you
For you
For you
For you
For you
For you

I swear I'm cursed with bad luck
Was it something that I did?
Every now and then I get stuck
And I can't climb out of this empty bed

Here's hoping you might see me
And offer your outstretched hand
Pull me up and free me
From this dark and lonely land

Still, won't stop trying
And I won't stop climbing
No I won't stop fighting
No I won't stop, won't stop fighting for you
For you
For you
For you
For you
For you

Though life might hold you back
It can feel like the odds are stacked
Though life might get you down
Try to find a way to wear your crown

So, won't stop trying
And I won't stop climbing
No I won't stop fighting
No I won't stop, won't stop fighting for you
For you
For you
For you
For you
For you
For you
For you
