Speechless
Dan + Shay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The smell of your perfume
Is floating down the stairs
You're fixing up your hair like you do
I know that I'll be a mess
The second that I see you
You won't be surprised
It happens every time
It's always on a night like tonight
I thank God you can read my mind
'Cause when you look at me with those eyes
I'm speechless
Staring at you, standing there in that dress
What it's doing to me, ain't a secret
'Cause watching you is all that I can do
And I'm speechless
You already know that you're my weakness
After all this time I'm just as nervous
Every time you walk into the room
I'm speechless
It started when you said hello
Just did something to me
And I've been in a daze
Ever since the day that we meet
You take the breath out of my lungs
Can't even fight it
And all of the words out of my mouth without even trying
And I'm speechless
Staring at you, standing there in that dress
What it's doing to me, ain't a secret
'Cause watching you is all that I can do
And I'm speechless
You already know that you're my weakness
After all this time I'm just as nervous
Every time you walk into the room
I'm speechless
Yeah, baby, mmm
It's always on a night like tonight
I thank God you can read my mind
'Cause when you look at me with those eyes
I'm speechless
You're standing there in that dress
Girl it ain't a secret
'Cause watching you is all that I can do, oh
I'm speechless
You already know that you're my weakness
After all this time I'm just as nervous
Every time you walk into the room
I'm speechless
Oh, you know it, baby
Oh oh, mmm
The song "Speechless" by Dan + Shay is a love song that describes the feelings that come with being in love with someone. The first verse starts with the expectation of the arrival of a loved one. The singer "knows that [they'll] be a mess" when they see their loved one, as they can't help but feel overwhelmed by the emotions they have for them. The chorus describes the feeling of being completely speechless and unable to articulate one's feelings when in the presence of the person they love. Watching them is all they can do, and it's obvious that the person is their weakness. The second verse talks about how this feeling started from the first time they met their loved one. The person completely took their breath away and left them in a daze. The final chorus repeats the idea that the singer is constantly left speechless when their loved one is present, and watching them is all that they can do.

Your perfume is spreading
You're fixing up your hair like you do
You're grooming yourself like always
I know that I'll be a mess
I'm aware that I'll be nervous

As soon as I lay my eyes on you
You won't be surprised
You won't be shocked

'Cause when you look at me with those eyes
Because of the way you look at me
I'm speechless
I'm stunned and lost for words
Staring at you, standing there in that dress
Looking at you, dressed like that
What it's doing to me, ain't a secret

All I can do is stare at you
You already know that you're my weakness
You know that you have power over me

Even after all this time, I'm still anxious
Every time you walk into the room
Whenever you enter the room
Yeah, baby, mmm
Yes, my love
It started when you said hello
It began when you greeted me
Just did something to me
It stirred something within me
And I've been in a daze
I've been lost in thought
Ever since the day that we meet
Since the day we met
You take the breath out of my lungs
You leave me breathless
Can't even fight it
I can't resist it
And all of the words out of my mouth without even trying
I can't even speak properly
You're standing there in that dress
You're wearing that stunning dress
Girl it ain't a secret
It's no secret
Oh, you know it, baby
You already know, my love
Oh oh, mmm
Oh, yeah
