Paul Baribeau – Eight Letters Lyrics 11 years ago
-- Eight Letters, this was the first song that got me into Paul's music. It was also the only song to get me though a tough break up.

-- "I love you" is spelled out with "eight letters". It's a really simple song name that has a deeper meaning to it than you think.

I interpret this as how Paul tried hard to think of how to be real with someone he had feelings for. He came up with multiple (8) times to write her how he felt, some were cliche. He couldn't find anything better to say or come up with. Paul "said it anyway" sounds like with no regrets you follow your heart and gut. Only to feel alone again, in the end it was just for the best. The best part of the whole song is when he said that it was for the best that he NEVER even bothered sending the letters. It's almost like a major plot twist in a movie or something to that effect. He never sent the letters he wrote or anything but he feels better all of a sudden.
Great song!
Thanks Paul!
