lyrics

SPEECHLESS
"soon / the moon will come from my lips / and / you will not remember your name." — Nayyirah Waheed

How do I say any of anything?
What do I say tonight, if anything?
I don't have a clue
When I'm next to you
I lose my nerve
I lose my words

How do I make it make any sense at all?
Will it ever really make any sense at all?
I don't have a clue
When I'm next to you
I lose my nerve
I lose my words

Like the first time I saw you
And I could barely breathe
('Left me speechless, 'left me speechless, speechless)
And I would tell you all about it
But this song is braver than me

How do I say any of anything?
What do I say tonight, if anything?
I don't have a clue
When it comes to you
I lose my nerve
I lose my words
I lose my nerve
I lose my words

Like the last time I saw you
And I could barely breathe
('Left me speechless, 'left me speechless, speechless)
And I would tell you all about it
But we know that I'm not free to say out loud
(You leave me speechless, leave me speechless, speechless)

Every time I see you
I can barely breathe
('Leave me speechless, leave me speechless, speechless)
And I would tell you all about it
But my songs are braver than me

The things, the things, the things I would tell you
The things I would tell you
The things I would tell you
If I could
