[Intro — low, close] I think you know. Let me say it anyway. [Verse 1 — conversational, room between phrases] I laugh when it gets too real. You ask me why I do. I could give you another answer. I’d rather give you the truth. I can take a little teasing. I can hold your eyes. But when you tell me that you love me, I get quiet every time. [Pre-Chorus — melody begins to climb] Don’t mistake it for nothing to say. I’m trying to find the words without looking away. [Chorus — open melody, sustained notes] You get to me. And I let you. You don’t have to wonder if I feel it too. When I pull you closer, that’s me telling you— You get to me. And I want you to. [Instrumental response — guitar, brief low hum] [Verse 2 — warmer, more assured] I’ve said, “I love you,” in a hurry. Let it sound like goodbye. Tonight, I want your full attention. Let me get it right. I love the way you want me even when we disagree. You can tell me what you think and still reach out for me. [Pre-Chorus — soft beginning, rising finish] There’s a lot I leave for you to understand. Let me say a little more than I usually can. [Chorus — selective low self-harmony] You get to me. And I let you. You don’t have to wonder if I feel it too. When I pull you closer, that’s me telling you— You get to me. And I want you to. [Bridge — keys and exposed lead] I love you. There it is. Let me stay right here in this. No laugh. No turning away. I love you. Let me say it again. [Final Chorus — upper-register lift, restrained answering runs] You get to me. And I let you. You don’t have to wonder if I feel it too. When I pull you closer, that’s me telling you— You get to me. And I want you to. [Outro — soft falsetto settling into chest voice] I love you. [Space] I wanted you to hear it while I’m looking at you.
