Words
A.R.M. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And feel okay just letting quiet talk
It's hard to tell you how I feel in words
When just your presence is a heart to heart
I wanna give you all that you deserve
All of the ups minus the down parts
I wanna say the things you've never heard
But there's just so much I don't know where to start
With my words
I want a way I can say everything that I really, really mean right now, yeah
With my words
I want a way to convey everything that I really, really feel right now, yeah
With my words
With my own words
With my words, yeah
With my own words
With my own words
I'm tryna find the words to say this well
Some combination that's unique to me
To make it clear how much I feel compelled
To point all the love don't come this easily
I wanna speak to you louder than words
And make sure they're heard beyond their basic truth
'Cause I can do better than standard verse
And design these words I write for you
With my words
I want a way I can say everything that I really, really mean right now, yeah
With my words
I want a way to convey everything that I really, really feel right now, yeah
With my words
With my own words, yeah
With my words, yeah
With my own words
With my own words
Shakespeare's got sonnets that come pretty close
Homie ain't leave me that much wiggle room
Neruda took the words right outta my mouth
I'll keep on going 'til I get mine
With my words
I want a way I can say everything that I really, really mean right now, yeah
With my words
I want a way to convey everything that I really, really feel right now, yeah
With my words
With my own words
With my words, yeah
With my own words
With my own words
With my words

Nevertheless, they resolve to continue trying until they can find a way to express themselves in their own words.
