Completely Speechless

Every time I see you
I just go speechless again

I practice at every red robot
Talking to myself like you're really there
Listen here I start then the light turns green
Same story every morning same old dream

Years of words all built up inside
But when I see you my mind goes blank
My courage just drops when you walk past
I'm a hero in my head but you knock the words right out of me

Everyone sees it except you
My friends laugh they know exactly
I'm the guy who can say anything
Except the one thing that really matters

Your name gets stuck in my throat
I'm speechless the words just won't come out
All that comes out is a hey or an hola
I'm all confident on WhatsApp but I just delete it again
I'm cool at the barbeque until you walk in
Completely speechless completely speechless

Six messages I still haven't sent
Hey sounds too casual Hello too boring
I get confidence from the brandy and Coke
But the moment you smile all my courage disappears

Your friends try they give me chances
But I just stand there like a statue
They say practice makes perfect
But I've practiced so long I've got a PhD in it

The words dance around in my head
But my mouth is a roadblock
Nothing gets through everything stops
Only my heart keeps beating through the silence

I'm speechless can't get a word out
Your name is stuck in my throat
I'm speechless the words just won't come out
All that comes out is a hey or an hola
I'm all confident on WhatsApp but I just delete it again
I'm cool at the barbeque until you walk in
Completely speechless completely speechless

Maybe it's okay to be like this
To just stand there speechless in front of you
Because if I could talk maybe I'd say something
That would break the friendship between us

But tomorrow I'll try again
Maybe tomorrow I'll be stronger
Tomorrow
I'm speechless again

I'm speechless can't say a word
Your name's still stuck in my throat
I'm speechless the words just won't come out
All that comes out is a hey or an hola
I'm all confident on WhatsApp but delete it again
I'm cool at the barbeque until you walk in
Completely speechless completely speechless
I'm trying I'm trying
I stay speechless
