Speechless
Dean Fujioka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You light up my life
When no one's around
I hear every sound
I'm dreaming with you
Over and over
Again and again
I don't want this to end
Every time I close my eyes at night
I'm feeling like I'm trapped in the dark in white
I'm losing my voice inside my head
And I don't know why, it's making me
Speechless
Till I find the key, I don't wanna be so
Speechless
Piecing every piece, everything I see it makes me
Speechless
Nothing else to say, but I don't wanna stay
Speechless
As long as I can breathe
I knew
The moment of silence
Is all that I need
To fill the gap in between me and you
Over and over
Again and again
There's no reason to end
Every time I close my eyes at night
I'm feeling like I'm trapped in the dark in white
I'm losing my voice inside my head
And I don't know why, it's making me
Speechless
Till I find the key, I don't wanna be so
Speechless
Piecing every piece, everything I see it makes me
Speechless
Nothing else to say, but I don't wanna stay
Speechless
As long as I can breathe
I got the line stuck in my mind
But I'ma be all good, cause I'm sending vibes
Less is more, more is less, every single time
Survival of the fittest streaming live
Trying to find the words to express what I'm feeling
But I don't need to say anything for a minute
I'ma pause all because you know wherever I go
Everything in front of me is making me complete
Speechless
Till I find the key, I don't wanna be so
Speechless
Piecing every piece, everything I see it makes me
Speechless
Nothing else to say, but I don't wanna stay
Speechless
As long as I can breathe
