Maggie Rogers’ “Love You for a Long Time” Lyrics Meaning
“Love You for a Long Time” is centered on a relationship which is presented as being based on something like love at first sight. Indeed the songstress is taken “by surprise” concerning the whole scenario. And with the singer now realizing that she has fallen for somebody like this, she is determined to love this individual “for a long time”. Or as Maggie poetically puts it, she is deeply ‘devoted’ to this person.
Moreover, as highlighted in the chorus, the early morning is a time of the day she is especially dependent on said figure. So basically, this is a celebration of love. And a listener would understandably interpret it as being based on a romance. However, Maggie has pointed out that such a perspective is just one of the ways this track is meant to be interpreted. Rather, she created it with the purpose of it serving as an ode to “love in all its forms”. In fact the relationship that actually inspired her to pen this tune is the one she has with her band.
