The Words
Perri Christina Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's that you feel the same way too

And I know
The scariest part is letting go
'Cause love is a ghost you can't control
I promise you the truth can't hurt us now
So let the words slip out of your mouth

And all of the steps that led me to you
And all of the hell I had you walk through
But I wouldn't trade a day for the chance to say
My love, I'm in love with you

And I know
The scariest part is letting go
'Cause love is a ghost you can't control
I promise you the truth can't hurt us now
So let the words slip out of your mouth

I know that we're both afraid
We both made the same mistakes
An open heart is an open wound to you
And in the wind there's a heavy choice
Love has a quiet voice
Still you mind, now I'm yours to choose

And I know
The scariest part is letting go
Let my love be the light that guides you home

And I know
The scariest part is letting go
'Cause love is a ghost you can't control

I promise you the truth can't hurt us now
So let the words slip out of your mouth

Overall Meaning

Perri Christina's song The Words is a love ballad that explores the fear and anxiety that come with opening up to someone you love. The chorus repeatedly emphasizes the scariest part of love: letting go. The singer implores the object of their affections to share their feelings, hoping against hope that they reciprocate the love. The imagery in the song presents a tension between the internal chaos and turbulence, represented as "noise" and "hell," and the calming and transformative power of love as "all of the lights land on you" and "let my love be the light that guides you home."

The lyrics also touch upon the vulnerability that comes with loving someone. The singer acknowledges that love can be a "ghost you can't control" and "an open heart is an open wound" but also promises that the truth can't hurt them now. This is a powerful statement that encourages both parties to open up and share their true feelings.

Overall, the song is an emotional portrayal of the complexities of love and the bravery it takes to let someone into our hearts.

Line by Line Meaning

All of the lights land on you
Every spotlight is on you, you're the center of attention

The rest of the world fades from view
Nothing else matters, all that's important is you

And all of the love I see
I see love surrounding you

Please please say you feel it too
I hope you feel the love that I do

And all of the noise I hear inside
My thoughts are chaotic and loud

Restless and loud, unspoken and wild
My feelings are restless and wild, but I haven't expressed them yet

And all that you need to say
All you have to do is say

To make it all go away
And everything will be better

It's that you feel the same way too
If you also feel the love that I do

And I know
I'm aware

The scariest part is letting go
The hardest part is to open up

'Cause love is a ghost you can't control
Love is inexplicable, you can't make it happen

I promise you the truth can't hurt us now
I promise we won't be hurt by the truth

So let the words slip out of your mouth
So just say what you feel

And all of the steps that led me to you
Every step I took has led me to you

And all of the hell I had you walk through
I've made things hard for you in the past

But I wouldn't trade a day for the chance to say
But I wouldn't change anything to have the opportunity to say

My love, I'm in love with you
That I love you deeply

I know that we're both afraid
I know we're both scared

We both made the same mistakes
We're both guilty of making mistakes

An open heart is an open wound to you
Being vulnerable is a risk for you

And in the wind there's a heavy choice
There's a difficult decision to make

Love has a quiet voice
Love speaks softly

Still you mind, now I'm yours to choose
Clear your thoughts, and make your decision

Let my love be the light that guides you home
Let my love be the driving force that brings you back to me

At first, I thought she was dead, haunting him like a ghost. Then, I was wondering what's with the orchids? But in the end, I realized that they were just meeting each other for the first time. I think he's always seen her at the flower shop and has been thinking about her which is why he feels her presence near him all the time. I think the song represents taking a chance at love again as they finally come together.

At the start for me I was thinking that she still loved him even when she passed and he was hung up on her and her favourite thing was flowers and such and him going to the flower shop with the flowers was him slowly giving up.
And then they ended up talking then I thought maybe it was a past girl instead of her.

Being in the OUAT fandom (especially the CS fandom) when this video dropped was a great time. Everyone was going insane, it was definitely a “everyone say thank you, Ms. Perri!” moment because truly, she took one for the team and gave us so much with this one video 😩👌✨

At 2:20 I have that same necklace my friend gave it to me for my birthday because Captain Hook is my favorite character from Once Upon A Time. And seeing Colin here made me fangirl big time.

09.07.22: Hi Christina, I'm an 81 year old Great-grandmother who LOVES your music from the first time I heard "A Thousand Years" online which I have on my computer so I can watch the video as well as listen to your hypnotizing song and music! --- I just listened to your "A Lighter Shade of Blue" album and will look for it tomorrow as I live in a "remote" area of Upper Michigan which requires driving 36 miles one-way to Walmart. If I can't find your new album there, I'll order it online. --- Congratulations! I enjoyed every song you wrote and sang --- Be blessed and always stay safe. 🤗

+Lil Loz The were working around Colin's schedule with Once Upon a Time, so they filmed the video in Vancouver and used David's truck and Zelena's farm house because it was convenient, worked for Colin, and it fit with the theme. And the necklace isn't actually the one he wears on the show. It's a replica that Christina's boyfriend got for her. But I looooooved the nod to Hook! Made me freak out the first time I saw it.
