[Verse 1] Every time you walk into the room I rehearse a hundred lines, then they go boom All my clever words just disappear Heartbeat drumming loud inside my ears [Pre-Chorus] I’m tripping over every single thought Trying to say everything I’m not [Chorus] I can’t find the words when you’re around Tongue-tied, I can’t get a sentence out Sweaty palms and a dizzy head All the things I feel, I leave unsaid I laugh it off but I’m freaking out You’re the song I can’t sing out loud I can’t find the words when you’re around But you’re all I’m thinking about [Verse 2] You smile and suddenly the world turns bright All the little worries fade into the light I wanna tell you that you feel like home But the moment comes and my courage goes [Pre-Chorus] I’m writing stories we haven’t lived yet But I just choke on the alphabet [Chorus] I can’t find the words when you’re around Tongue-tied, I can’t get a sentence out Sweaty palms and a dizzy head All the things I feel, I leave unsaid I laugh it off but I’m freaking out You’re the song I can’t sing out loud I can’t find the words when you’re around But you’re all I’m thinking about [Bridge] Maybe I’ll just tell you in a melody Let the rhythm say what you mean to me If I start to stutter, don’t let go Every little silence says, “I hope you know” [Breakdown Chorus] Oh, I can’t find the words when you’re around But my racing heart is screaming loud [Final Chorus] I can’t find the words when you’re around Tongue-tied, I can’t get a sentence out Sweaty palms and a dizzy head All the things I feel, I leave unsaid If I start to speak, I might spill the truth Every little heartbeat’s spelling “you” I can’t find the words when you’re around But you’re all I’m singing about
