I'm Yours Lyrics
You touch these tired eyes of mine
And map my face out line by line,
And somehow growing old feels fine.
Listen close for I'm not smart:
You wrap your thoughts in works of art,
And they're hanging on the walls of my heart.
I may not have the softest touch;
I may not say the words as such,
And though I may not look like much,
I'm yours.
And though my edges may be rough;
I never feel I'm quite enough;
It may not seem like very much,
But I'm yours.
You healed these scars over time:
Embraced my soul,
You loved my mind.
You're the only angel in my life.
The day news came my best friend died,
my knees went weak; you saw me cry.
Say I'm still the soldier in your eyes.
I may not have the softest touch;
I may not say the words as such,
And though I may not look like much,
I'm yours.
And though my edges may be rough;
I never feel I'm quite enough;
It may not seem like very much,
But I'm yours.
I may not have the softest touch;
I may not say the words as such,
I know I don't fit in that much,
But I'm yours.
And map my face out line by line,
And somehow growing old feels fine.
Listen close for I'm not smart:
You wrap your thoughts in works of art,
And they're hanging on the walls of my heart.
I may not say the words as such,
And though I may not look like much,
I'm yours.
And though my edges may be rough;
I never feel I'm quite enough;
It may not seem like very much,
But I'm yours.
Embraced my soul,
You loved my mind.
You're the only angel in my life.
The day news came my best friend died,
my knees went weak; you saw me cry.
Say I'm still the soldier in your eyes.
I may not say the words as such,
And though I may not look like much,
I'm yours.
And though my edges may be rough;
I never feel I'm quite enough;
It may not seem like very much,
But I'm yours.
I may not say the words as such,
I know I don't fit in that much,
But I'm yours.

I read somewhere on youtube that it was about his mum. At first I thought it was a love song too, but when you think about it, this makes so much more sense.
He keeps saying how he feels small and weak, just like a child. And then it makes sense too that his mother would be reassuring him, saying "he's still the soldier in her eyes," and that she should be the "only angel in his life" (as opposed to girlfriends, I guess, who just come and go.)
And of course, if it's about a mother-son relationship, it gives its full meaning to the title "I'm yours."
i think you are right.
i think you are right.
this is like the ultimate love song. one of the finest lyrics i've read lately. i simply adore it.
I love that line "say im still the soldier in your eyes" its like how every guy wants to be percieced, as strong and without weakness or whatever. But then because shes seen him cry he doesnt want that image of him broken.
The lyrics are great for all their songs, although ima bit sick of listening to them atm since they are always onthe radio here in london plus someones always playing this cd in my house, lol.
