Your Song
โ™ซ 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 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.

Overall Meaning

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 singerโ€™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.

I need your love
I need your time
When everything's wrong
You make it right
I feel so high
I come alive
I need to be free with you tonight
I need your love

[Beat break]

I need your love

I take a deep breath every time I pass your door
I know you're there but I can't see you anymore
And that's the reason you're in the dark
I've been a stranger ever since we fell apart
And I feel so helpless here
Watch my eyes are filled with fear
Tell me do you feel the same
Hold me in your arms again

I need your love
I need your time
When everything's wrong
You make it right
I feel so high
I come alive
I need to be free with you tonight
I need your love

[Beat break]

I need your love

Am I dreaming? Will I ever find you now?
I walk in circles but I'll never figure out
What I mean to you, do I belong?
I try to fight this but I know I'm not that strong
And I feel so helpless here
Watch my eyes are filled with fear
Tell me do you feel the same
Hold me in your arms again

I need your love
I need your time
When everything's wrong
You make it right
I feel so high
I come alive
I need to be free with you tonight
I need your love

[Beat break]

I need your love

All the years
All the times
You have never been to blame
And now my eyes are open
And now my heart is closing
And all the tears
All the lies
All the waste
I've been trying to make it change
And now my eyes are open

I need your love
I need your time
When everything's wrong
You make it right
I feel so high
I come alive
I need to be free

[Beat break]

I take a deep breath every time I pass your door
I know you're there but I can't see you anymore
And that's the reason you're in the dark
I've been a stranger ever since we fell apart
I feel so out of sea
Watch my eyes are filled with fear
Tell me do you feel the same
Hold me in your arms again

I need your love
I need your time
When everything's wrong
You make it right
I feel so high
I go alive
I need to be free with you tonight
I need your love

I need your love

Now I'm dreaming, will ever find you now?
I walk in circles but I never make it out
What I mean to you, do I belong
I try to fight this but I know I'm not that strong

And I feel so helpless here
Watch my eyes are filled with fear
Tell me do you feel the same
Hold me in your arms again

I need your love

All the years
All the times
You were never been to blame
And now my eyes are open
And now my heart is closing
And all the tears
All the lies
All the waste
I've been trying to make it change
And now my eyes are open

I need your love
I need your time
When everything's wrong
You make it right
I feel so high
I come alive
I need to be free

I love how she took a hype pop song and turned into a slow beautiful ballad, pure magic

@alvarotheengineer5344

Keyanna Mims that's what I love bout her covers

@MsBloomka

They. They, not her. This is a duet. Jake does a great job on the piano!

@steffenbehrendt4695

They only changed the background music. This was some sort of ballade all along. But yeah, she crushed the voice, but he really feels it and makes it even more awesome!
