And I really want this to last so bad
Words distract us, but we know the truth, yeah
So hush, baby, my heart's speaking to you
Just give me that touch (I want it)
Quit talking too much, I'm ready
Stop moving your lips and kiss me
'Cause you make me speechless
You quiet my demons
Swallow me whole tonight and just kill me silently-y-y
I don't need a reason
When you make me speechless
We're getting loud tonight, we're allowed tonight to be-be-be
Come on baby, make me speechless
Come on baby, make me, uh
Body language screaming everything
And keep giving it to me, fire away
Just give me that touch, I want it
Quit talking too much, I'm ready
Stop moving your lips and kiss me
Keep taking my breath away
'Cause you make me speechless
You quiet my demons
Swallow me whole tonight and just kill me silently-y-y
I don't need a reason
When you make me speechless
We're getting loud tonight, we're allowed tonight to be-be-be
Come on baby, make me speechless
When you touching me
When you kissing me
Nothing left to say
I'm speechless
Get a hold of me
Kill me silently
Nothing left to say
'Cause you make me speechless
Quiet my demons
Swallow me whole tonight and just kill me silently
I don't need a reason
When you make me speechless
We're getting loud tonight, we're allowed to be-be-be
Come on baby, make me speechless
Come on baby, make me shh
Come on baby, make me speechless
Don't say a word
Come on baby, make me
The song Speechless by Rachel Platten speaks of the power of physical intimacy with a loved one, and how it can often be more meaningful than words. The opening lyrics reflect how time seems to slip away during moments of intense passion, and the desire to make that feeling last forever. The following lines express how words can sometimes create a distraction when it comes to expressing love, and that sometimes the truth can be better understood through body language and touch. The chorus repeats how being with this person makes the singer speechless and quiets her inner struggles. She expresses how being with this person feels like they are swallowing her whole, and how she doesn't need a reason to be with them. The song concludes with an invitation to the loved one to make the singer speechless with their touch, thereby highlighting the significance of physical intimacy.
Overall, the song speaks to a greater connection that can be achieved through physical intimacy where words may not suffice. It's about appreciating the nonverbal aspects of love, and how they can translate into a deeper emotional experience.
