Your Song
♫ Ellie Goulding Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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 maybe 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.
Ellie Goulding's song Your Song is a beautiful love song that expresses admiration and gratitude for someone special. The lyrics express how the singer feels about their significant other and how they wish to provide for them if they could. Despite not having much money, the singer dreams of buying a big house where they both can live.
The chorus "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" expresses the singer’s love for the person and how special they are to them. They want everyone to know that this song is dedicated to their lover and how their lover has brought a wonderful change to their life.
In the second verse, the singer reflects on what they would have done for their lover if they were an artist or a magician. However, they realize that the best gift they can offer their lover is the gift of song. The last chorus repeats the sentiment from the first chorus and again emphasizes the singer's appreciation and love for their significant other.

They're green or they're blue
Your eyes are either green or blue, and I don't remember which
Anyway the thing is,
The important part is
What I really mean,
What I'm trying to express is

🎵🎵🎵"Yours"🎵🎵🎵
I'll wear your winter coat
The one you love to wear
So I keep feeling close
To what's beyond compare
The moments waking up
You catch me in your eyes
That beauty on my pillow
That holds me in the night
And I will find my strength to untape my mouth
When I used to be afraid of the words
But with you I've learned just to let it out
Now my heart is ready to burst
Cause I, I feel like I'm ready for love
And I wanna be your everything and more
And I know every day you say it
But I just want you to be sure
That I'm yours
And if I've been feeling heavy
You take me from the dark
Your arms they keep me steady
So nothing could fall apart
And I will find my strength to untape my mouth
When I used to be afraid of the words
But with you I've learned just to let it out
Now my heart is ready to burst
Cause I, I feel like I'm ready for love
And I wanna be your everything and more
And I know every day you say it
But I just want you to be sure
That I'm yours
That I'm yours

[Verse 1: Ella Henderson]
I wear your winter coat
The one you love to wear
So I keep feeling close
To what's beyond compare
The moments waking up
You catch me in your eyes
That beauty on my pillow
That holds me in the night
[Pre-Chorus: Ella Henderson]
And I will find my strength to un-tape my mouth
When I used to be afraid of the words
But with you I've learned just to let it out
Now my heart is ready to burst
[Chorus: Ella Henderson]
Cause I, I feel like I'm ready for love
And I wanna be your everything and more
And I know every day you say it
But I just want you to be sure
That I'm yours
[Verse 2: Ella Henderson]
And if I've been feeling heavy
You take me from the dark
Your arms they keep me steady
So nothing could fall apart

Bawled like a baby through the whole song while he held me and kissed my head.. Celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary October 5th 2020 and I tried to play this song again.. Still cried. & he still held me and kissed my head. Never thought I’d ever find find love, but I ended up finding my best friend & soulmate all in one. ♥️
Thank you all for the well wishes, you’re all so sweet! 🥰
EDIT
5/2023 -- We will be coming up on our 4 year anniversary this October and just celebrated our beautiful daughter's first birthday yesterday. The man I loved when I wrote this, is the man I adore as a father now. Strong and soft. Patient and kind. This is your message to not settle. Your soulmate is real.
