Words Lyrics

Cover art for Words lyrics by Ellis Paul

This song reveals the struggle of a person in love who has taken up the daunting task of trying to express this love in words. He seems intent on capturing his sentiment verbally "So take what you've given me/if these words don't voice what this heart just knows."

Still, he is unable to pin down feelings that transcend language.

The irony here is that Ellis Paul writes perhaps the most simple and profound lyric of love that I've ever heard in my life in a song about being unable to accomplish such a feat:

"Your eyes make me humble."

It's the most poignant and chilling phrase I've ever heard.
