Speechless
Shy One Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You say you'll be down in five
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 happen every time
It's nothing new
It's always on a night like tonight
I think that 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 a 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
Every 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
And I'm speechless, yea baby
It's always on a night like tonight
I think that 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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Shy One's song "Speechless" are about being hopelessly in love and infatuated with someone. The singer is eagerly anticipating the arrival of their crush or significant other, knowing that they will be overwhelmed by their presence. The scent of their perfume and the sight of them fixing their hair is enough to make the singer feel like a mess. The singer acknowledges that this feeling is nothing new, and it always seems to happen on nights like tonight. When they finally see their crush, they are left speechless, unable to find the right words to express their feelings. Simply watching them is all they can do.


The second verse of the song elaborates on how this feeling has persisted since the day they met. Just saying hello was enough to leave the singer in a daze. Their crush takes their breath away and leaves them unable to speak. Even though they've known each other for some time, the singer is still just as nervous every time their crush walks into the room.


One interesting interpretation of the song is that it highlights the power of physical attraction and how it can leave someone feeling completely entranced by another person. It also portrays the vulnerability that comes with being in love, as the singer is left speechless and powerless in the presence of their crush.
