No Words
Erik Hassle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I passed by a funeral
There was a woman there
She was cryin'
Cursin' at the Gods
And it made me wanna
Run home to you
And I ran, ran, ran
No one knows, yeah
What tomorrow holds, yeah
All we got is here and now
All we got is here and now
I'm not gonna waste no more time
Oh, no, no
I'm out of words, babe
No way to explain
Why you lookin' at me
What you doin' to me
I'm out of words, babe
No way to explain
Why you lookin' at me
I can't get enough
I can't get enough
I can't get enough
I can't get enough
I can't get enough
My thoughts
Moving like a speedin' train
Runnin' home to you
Tryin' to catch up with them
But
So many things
I forgot to say
Now that I want to
Don't know how to, babe
No one knows, yeah
What tomorrow holds, yeah
All we got is here and now
All we got is here and now
No one knows, yeah
What tomorrow holds, yeah
All we got is here and now
All we got is here and now
I'm out of words, babe
No way to explain
Why you lookin' at me
What you doin' to me
I'm out of words, babe
No way to explain
Why you lookin' at me
I can't get enough
I can't get enough
I can't get enough
I can't get enough
I can't get enough
People always said
I got a way with words
But when it comes to you
I don't know what to say
Oh, nah, nah, damn
Won't do you justice, babe
Won't do you justice, babe
Oh, nah, nah, damn
Words, babe
No way to explain
What you doin' to me
I'm out of words, babe
No way to explain
Why you lookin' at me
I can't get enough
Oh, no, no
I can't get enough
Oh, no, no, no
I can't get enough
I can't get enough
Do you wanna be my baby
I can't get enough
Get enough
The song "No Words" by Erik Hassle describes the feeling of being unable to express one's love for someone in adequate terms. It starts with the singer walking home and stumbling upon a funeral where a woman is crying and cursing at the gods for taking someone away. This sight makes him want to run to the person he loves as fast as he can. The chorus emphasizes the importance of focusing on the present moment and not wasting any more time as the future is uncertain. The verses talk about the singer's thoughts moving like a speeding train and the desire to catch up to them as he has so many things he wants to say but doesn't know how to articulate them.
The bridge of the song talks about how people have always said that the singer has a way with words, but when it comes to the person he loves, he is out of words and unable to do them justice. The repeated phrase "I can't get enough" shows how the singer is overwhelmed with emotion and unable to put his feelings into words. Ultimately, the song is a representation of the struggle to express oneself fully and convey the depth of one's emotions.
