Say It in the Silence
Caroline Pennell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm no stranger to the feeling that it's all turned out just as it should be.
If i could go back and change one little thing I don't know if I would.
There's a comfort in the silence now when I'm feeling this good.
Pull me in closer, pull me in closer and tell me what's inside.
Make me feel the reasons.
I want to believe them.
Say it in the silence.
There's a fear that sits with comfort when it's just you and me.
And I'm no stranger to the feeling that nothings turned out as it should be.
If i could go back and change one little thing I feel that I would.
It's been a long time since I heard your voice tell something so good.
Pull me in closer, pull me in closer and tell me what's inside.
Make me feel the reasons.
I want to believe them.
Say it with your eyes.
Say it in the silence.
Because silence for some might be golden and silence for some is pain.
And some people live in slow motion or in the fast lane.
Pull me in closer, pull me in closer and tell me what's inside.
Make me feel the reasons I need to believe them.
Say it with your eyes.
Pull me in closer, pull me in closer and tell me what's inside.
Make me feel the reasons I want to believe them.
Say it with your eyes.
Say it in the silence.
In "Say It in the Silence," Caroline Pennell explores the idea of the unspoken language between two people. The song is about the comfort and fear that come with the silence that exists between two people who share a close bond. The singer acknowledges that things might not have turned out as planned, but feels at ease in the moment. There's an understanding that words aren't always necessary, and the singer wants the other person to convey their feelings without speaking them aloud. She longs to be reassured, to feel the reasons behind the other person's actions, and to have her doubts and fears placated. The song is ultimately about the power of silence, about how sometimes saying nothing can speak louder than saying everything.
