"Getting Into You"

"Getting Into You"
by Relient K

when i made up my mind
and my heart along with that
to live not for myself
but yet for God
somebody said
"do you know what you are getting yourself into?"

when i finally ironed out
all of my priorities
and asked God to remove the doubt
that makes me unsure of these
things i ask myself
i ask myself
"do you know what you are getting yourself into?"

i'm getting into you
because you got to me
in a way words can't describe
i'm getting into you
because i've got to be
you're essential to survive
i'm going to love you with my life

when he looked at me and said
"i kind of view you as a son"
and for a second our eyes met
and i met that with a question
"do you know what you are getting yourself into?"

i'm getting into you
because you got to me
in a way words can't describe
i'm getting into you
because i've got to be
you're essential to survive
i'm going to love you with my life

i've been a liar and i'll never amount to
the kind of person you deserve to worship you
you say you will not dwell on what i did but rather what i do you say
"i love you and that's what you are getting yourself into"

i'm getting into you (getting into you)
because you got to me (because you got to me)
in a way words can't describe
i'm getting into you (getting into you)
because i've got to be (because i've got to be)
you're essential to survive
i'm going to love you with my life


you said "i love you and that's what you're getting yourself into"

I was introduced to this song over my kairos retreat last week-end and totally got it. I really really really like how the lyrics are written to this song. How in the beginning it is about this guy who finally decides to totally live his life for God and then his friends are kind of trying to talk him out of it, but he won't let that happen. Then in the first chorus it is about the guy telling God how he is getting into Him. Then as the song goes on in the second verse it is about this same guy trying to understand how God can love him after all he's done, and then in the second chorus it is like God answering him in the same way he told God how he felt. I just think it is really a clever idea.

There is one line in particular that I like in the chorus. It is, "I'm getting into you
because i've got to be you're essential to survive." The fact of the matter is us as humans can't really survive without God in our lives, and God needs us to help spread the word about Him to help keep His survival here on earth. It is still very much a give and take relationship, and I think that the way the lyricist wrote that line was genius. The song is now on my blog play list, so if you want to here it you can find it there. :)
