[Verse 1] You walked in, I lost my line Tongue tied up in velvet wire I had a whole world on my mouth Then you smiled and pulled it south [Pre-Chorus] I tried to play it cool But my pulse went rude Hands in my pockets Still I came unglued [Chorus] Couldn’t speak when you around Lover, lover, lover Couldn’t speak when you around Lover, lover, lover My words fell down Right at your feet Couldn’t speak when you around You make the silence sing [Verse 2] I say hi in little sparks You read me easy, leave a mark I fake a laugh, you lean in close Now every thought goes ghost to ghost [Pre-Chorus] Fast hands, slow grin You pull me in I lose my edges When your name begins [Chorus] Couldn’t speak when you around Lover, lover, lover Couldn’t speak when you around Lover, lover, lover My words fell down Right at your feet Couldn’t speak when you around You make the silence sing [Bridge] Soft like a secret in my throat I almost tell you, then I choke Halo voices lifting high I let your name pass by [Final Chorus] Couldn’t speak when you around Lover, lover, lover Couldn’t speak when you around Lover, lover, lover My words fell down Right at your feet Couldn’t speak when you around You make the silence sing Couldn’t speak when you around Lover, lover, lover
