Words
Jeff & Marcia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wouldn't write the words
you wouldn't ask me please
you'd be like a bird
at the instinct in your wings
and the things that you have heard
all meant nothing to me
I never meant to drop you hard
not to pick you up softly...
...watch out...

As written in some,
Law of folk
Your Love Is from,
The Words I Wrote

If you listen to the music...
and you are to far away...
as your mind...
Repeats Repeating...
The Last Song You Just Sang

As The Heart you feed
s' beating out of your chest
and theres no helping feelings
that your mind can manifest...

As written in some,
Law of folk
Your Love Is from,
The Words I Wrote

If you listen to the music...
and you are to far away...
as your mind...
Repeats Repeating...
The Last Song You Just Sang.

If you listen to the music...
and you are to far away...
as your mind...




Repeats Repeating...
The Last Song You Just Sang.

Overall Meaning

The song "Words" by Jeff & Marica is an emotional ballad about the difficulty of expressing one's feelings and the power of music to relay those unspoken emotions. The opening lines "I wouldn't write the words / you wouldn't ask me please" suggest a struggle to articulate oneself and a reluctance to offer up vulnerable sentiments. The metaphor of the bird and its instinctual flight is a poignant representation of the urge to express oneself despite the fear and uncertainty that comes with it. The chorus repeats the idea that "your love is from the words I wrote," implying that the singer is pouring their heart out through their music but struggling to communicate those feelings in a more direct way. The song ends on a note of ambiguity with the repeated refrain "the last song you just sang" suggesting both the haunting quality of music that lingers in the mind, as well as the ambiguous nature of romance and the possibility of regret and uncertainty.


Overall, "Words" is a potent exploration of the power of music as a tool for expressing emotions that can be difficult to convey in more direct ways. The lyrics are full of vivid metaphors and resonant phrases that capture the complexities of desire, fear, and longing.
