i think this song is about how overrated speaking and expressing how you feel about someone verbally can be. if you're fully in love with someone, that love swallows you. it's there 24/7/365 and you know that and it's comforting. therefore, you don't always have to go into this explicit verbal detail to express it. One of the reasons I think that is because of this line:
'I don't understand how love in silence becomes reprimand. But the way that I feel about you is beyond words'
what i think that means is that she doesn't understand how silence can so often be misinterpreted as a lack of feelings for the partner or anger towards the partner. sometimes when your bf or gf is silent, you think that he/she doesn't love you anymore or is perhaps angry at you when the reality is that they love you more than ever, but that love is 'beyond words' and that's why they're silent.
when she says 'give me the words that tell me nothing... give me the words that tell me everything', what she really means is give her silence because silence says nothing and everything all at the same time.
