[INTRO | INTIMATE | SOLO MALE VOCAL | SPARSE PIANO | VERY SOFT | CLOSE DRY VOCAL | MINIMAL] I had it all worked out, every word, every line. Then she walked through the door and somehow I forgot mine. [VERSE 1 | VULNERABLE | CONVERSATIONAL MALE VOCAL | PIANO + SOFT GUITAR | RESTRAINED | CLOSE | ORGANIC] I know the way the sunlight finds the windows in the morning, I know a hundred little ways to say what something means. I can talk about the weather, tell a story, make you laugh, but when she turns and looks at me, I lose the better half. I want to tell her what she does, what happens when she's near, but somehow every sentence disappears. [PRE-CHORUS | BUILDING | EMOTIONAL MALE VOCAL | PIANO + STRINGS + BASS | RISING | WIDER | CINEMATIC] I've searched for the right words, I've turned them inside out, but the closer I get to saying it, the less I figure out. [CHORUS | HUGE | POWERFUL MALE VOCAL + WIDE HARMONIES | FULL DRUMS + PIANO + STRINGS + ELECTRIC GUITAR | EXPLOSIVE | WIDE CINEMATIC | POLISHED POP] I could write it on a thousand pages, paint it across the evening sky, but standing here beside her, every word I know runs dry. How do you name a feeling that is bigger than a name? She walks into the room and nothing sounds the same. I could search the whole world over for a sentence that comes close, but every time I see her, I forget the words I know. [VERSE 2 | WARM | CONFIDENT MALE VOCAL | GUITAR + PIANO + BASS + DRUMS | STEADY | OPEN | MODERN POP] Maybe it's the way she laughs before she knows she's laughing, or the way she says my name like there's nowhere else to be. Maybe it's a thousand things that nobody else would notice, little moments that somehow mean everything to me. And I could call it beautiful, I could call it rare, but those words feel far too small for what is happening there. [PRE-CHORUS | LIFTING | EMOTIONAL MALE VOCAL | RISING STRINGS + DRUMS | BUILDING | WIDER | CINEMATIC] I've tried to put it into words, I've tried to make it clear, but language has a funny way of failing when she's here. [CHORUS | HUGE | POWERFUL MALE VOCAL + LAYERED HARMONIES | FULL BAND + STRINGS | EXPLOSIVE | WIDE | CINEMATIC POP] I could write it on a thousand pages, paint it across the evening sky, but standing here beside her, every word I know runs dry. How do you name a feeling that is bigger than a name? She walks into the room and nothing sounds the same. I could search the whole world over for a sentence that comes close, but every time I see her, I forget the words I know. [BRIDGE | STRIPPED | INTIMATE MALE VOCAL | SOLO PIANO + SINGLE SUSTAINED STRING | VERY SOFT → RISING | CLOSE → EXPANDING | EMOTIONAL] So maybe I don't need the perfect thing to say. Maybe she can see it in the way I look her way. Maybe some things aren't meant to fit inside a line. Maybe all I have to give her is this heart of mine. [PAUSE] Because when she walks toward me, the whole world falls away. And for once, I don't need words to know exactly what I want to say. [FINAL CHORUS | MAXIMUM | FULL MALE VOCAL + HIGH HARMONIES + CHOIR-LIKE LAYERS | FULL BAND + SOARING STRINGS | MASSIVE | HUGE STEREO | EPIC FINAL LIFT] I could write it on a thousand pages, paint it across the evening sky, but standing here beside her, every word I know runs dry. [FALSETTO] How do you name a feeling that is bigger than a name? She walks into the room and nothing sounds the same. I could search the whole world over for a sentence that comes close, but every time I see her, I forget the words I know. [FINAL LINES | EMOTIONAL | SOLO MALE + SOFT HARMONIES | PIANO + STRINGS | FALLING | WIDE REVERB | RESOLVED] Maybe that's the answer, maybe that's the truth: Some feelings are too beautiful for words to ever prove. She walks into the room... And nothing sounds the same.
