Your Song
Ellie Goulding Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's a little bit funny
This feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can
Easily hide

I don't have much money
But boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where
We both could live

So excuse me forgetting
But these things I do
See I've forgotten if
They're green or they're blue

Anyway the thing is
What I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes
I've ever seen

And you can tell everybody
This is your song
It may be quite simple but
Now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is
Now you're in the world

If I was a sculptor
But then again no
Or a girl who makes potions in
A traveling show
I know it's not much but
It's the best I can do
My gift is my song and
This one's for you

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

And you can tell everybody
This is your song
It may be quite simple but
Now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is
Now you're in the world

Overall Meaning

However, the singer is not wealthy and cannot afford extravagant gifts for them both, but if they could, they would buy a big house where they could live together. The singer's reciprocated love is expressed when they comment on the person's sweet eyes, which are the sweetest they have ever seen.


The chorus of the song rings out loud and clear as the singer declares that the song is the other person's song.

The singer hopes that the person doesn't mind the simplicity of the song and that they appreciate the message behind it. In the final verse, the singer acknowledges that they are not skilled in sculpture or potion-making, but they can offer the gift of their own music, dedicating this song to the person they love.

My late husband sang this to me when we were dating. We got married and a great life for 25yrs., and he died. Now I'm singing this song for you.
