Put You Into Words
Clare Dunn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whenever somebody asks about you
I smile and say, "Sorry this will take a while"
'Cause truth is that I don′t know where to start
Sum it up, all of the things that you are to me
No it ain't easy
No matter what I say, I wish it was more
'Cause baby you′re
Wild as a Wyoming rodeo sky
Strong as tequila on a Saturday night
Quiet as a kiss on a front porch swing
Loud as a song everybody sings
And baby I could talk ′til I'm out of breath
And there′d be so much still left unsaid
I know I never will but I'm pretty sure
You′d be the best thing I'd ever heard
If I could put you into words
Put you into words
They say a picture′s worth a thousand of 'em
But I'd need a million pictures
′Cause your love is like sand on a beach
The way you crash into me, yeah
Wild as a Wyoming rodeo sky
Strong as tequila on a Saturday night
Quiet as a kiss on a front porch swing
Loud as a song everybody sings
And baby I could talk ′til I'm out of breath
And there′d be so much still left unsaid
I know I never will but I'm pretty sure
You′d be the best thing I'd ever heard
If I could put you into words
Put you into words
Put you into words
Put you into words, yeah
Breathless
That′s how I get around you
Restless
That's how I sleep without you
Crazy
That's how I am about you
Baby all I know is that you′re
Wild as a Wyoming rodeo sky
Strong as tequila on a Saturday night
Quiet as a kiss on a front porch swing
Loud as a song everybody sings
And baby I could talk ′til I'm out of breath
And there′d be so much still left unsaid
I know I never will but I'm pretty sure
You′d be the best thing I'd ever heard
If I could put you into words
Put you into words
Put you into words
Put you into words, yeah
Put you into words
Put you into words
Put you into words
Put you into words
In Clare Dunn's song Put You Into Words, the singer is waxing poetic about someone they care for deeply but are struggling to put into words just how much they mean to them. When asked about this special person, the singer finds it difficult to sum up and articulate the qualities and characteristics that make this person so special to them. The singer acknowledges that they could talk forever and still not fully express just how extraordinary this person is to them.
The chorus of the song lists off a number of qualities that the singer associates with this special person. They compare them to things like the wild open skies of Wyoming, the strength of tequila on a Saturday night, and a song that everybody sings. Despite all these comparisons, the singer still feels like there is so much to say that they just can't put into words. The singer ends the song by repeating the refrain "put you into words" as if the phrase itself might summon up the perfect way to express their feelings.
Overall, Put You Into Words is a testament to the difficulty of truly expressing the depth of one's emotions. It captures the feeling of being overwhelmed by someone's presence and struggling to find the right words to express just how much they mean to you.

I dedicate this song to my nephew. He’s my world—my sister & even him being 1 year old, knows the love I have for him. I love you my baby boy. I would do anything in the world for you; never forget that. 💚
@ttaylor8239
There will NEVER be enough words to describe TRUE, UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. One word I WOULD USE is HOME. 😘
Great song!
@giannazaccagni4058
OMG, I just heard your song for the first time today in a restaurant, and I loved it. You just earned yourself a new subscriber! I hope you go on to do great things in the name of Jesus! You deserve more recognition Claire!
@barrybahr3839
Another great song from a great artist. Such a beautiful strong voice. I love all her music.
@scottmarshall977
I love her voice and this is another great song from her. She deserves more commercial success. Hoping she comes to the Atlanta area soon!
@piersonchristensen8836
The last time I so purely enjoyed listening to every song from an artist I was listening to Taylor Swift in 2010. Everything you touch turns to gold Clare Dunn, phenomenal job.
@TheTjxxxxxx
Her record label should be ashamed of themselves. They barely promote her and we still haven't gotten a new album or even news of an album? Everything she has put out is awesome. Try harder Mercury!!!
@kerriellis2447
