Lady I could barely talk

When you walked in, in your ankle socks

I was kinda drunk, sleep on it til morn

Detox, I never seen such a beautiful form

Inside my chest begins a storm

Fuck, a heart attack

I’m so shell-shocked

In a single second

My heart and soul to you I’d sworn

But I couldn’t say nothing

Can I have a cigarette?

Suddenly English I forget

And I remain torn

With the notion in my head

You’re the very reason I was born

I dunno what to do, say, think or feel

Should I sabotage my fucking steering wheel

Every time I look at you I melt

I’m in molten lava, can’t you tell?

This love burns and consumes

I fell for you n I met my doom

Yet I wouldn’t trade it

Cus even tho it hurts

I couldn’t hate it

It’s so scary to approach

Incase I get a frog in my throat

Or even worse you’re just a schizophrenic ghost

That my mind conjured perfectly

Even tho you may never know

You’re fucking perfect to me

And it might sound crazy

But I’m perfect for you too

I’d bet my life on it like a dead pool

Feeling love struck

Like I’m still in high school

Getting flustered

My stomach flutters

Like butterflies

I heard you’re a cheat

Do they mutter lies?

I can’t talk tho, so am I

But I won’t stutter shit

When I promise I’d commit

If you’re the prize

Do you see my pupils dilate in my eyes

When I back up from tasting your lipstick

Girl I’m prepared to die

If it means just one kiss

Cus your lips might make me the escapist

From this nightmare

They might summon bliss

Maybe I’m lost in a dream, in a thought, in a wish

That I’m afraid to let slip thru my fingertips when my hand’s balled in a fist, lady...

Lady I could barely talk

When you walked in, in your ankle socks

I was kinda drunk, sleep on it til morn

Detox, I never seen such a beautiful form

Inside my chest begins a storm

Fuck, a heart attack

I’m so shell-shocked

In a single second

My heart and soul to you I’d sworn

But I couldn’t say nothing

Can I have a cigarette?

Suddenly English I forget

And I remain torn

With the notion in my head

You’re the very reason I was born

The only thing I’m good at quitting is quitting quitting

If I die I hope it’s in your arms, it’s seems kinda fitting

I’m in no need of being acquitted

Cus I’m guilty of being obsessed with you

I admit it but it’s not my fault you’re so perfect and adequate

It’s as if we’re sky high, and if it’s just me

I might throw a fit, hijack the cockpit and begin to plummet

Toward the ground, can you feel the fear in your stomach?

Does it remind you of, butterflies?

Well that’s how I feel being so shy, I try to hide and catch a glimpse as you walk by, holes in the paper is my disguise, I can't find the guts to say hello

But I won’t say goodbye

I just wanna let you know

And the only way I could think of was to write you a song

I know it’s crazy to be obsessed and even consider that you’ll catch on

I’m hoping this will refresh your memory

And you’ll sing along

Lady I could barely talk

When you walked in, in your ankle socks

Lady I could barely talk

When you walked in

Lady I could barely talk

Cus you walked in, in your ankle socks

Lady I could barely talk

Lady I could barely talk

When you walked in, in your ankle socks

I was kinda drunk, sleep on it til morn

Detox, I never seen such a beautiful form

Inside my chest begins a storm

Fuck, a heart attack

I’m so shell-shocked

In a single second

My heart and soul to you I’d sworn

But I couldn’t say nothing

Can I have a cigarette?

Suddenly English I forget

And I remain torn

With the notion in my head

You’re the very reason I was born

I seen you smile, like fireworks they light up the night sky

Meanwhile I’m a child gazing

Smothered in infatuation

This is amazing

What’s made for you won’t go past

You just gotta be patient

A voice that would shatter glass

And I’m the shards that scatter fast

When you speak you blow out windows

I notice every strand of hair each time the wind blows

Venom in my body, bitten by the Black Widow

Poisoned by your presence

Though your company was pleasant

You ring the cops I still won’t learn my lesson

That’s what happens when you give into obsession

But if push comes to shove

I’ll let you go and that’s love

Am I an abomination?

Til it’s the courts I’m facing

Yes I’m guilty, I find her so fascinating

That don’t make me Satan

In the room of judges and prosecutors

All I did was love her, keep my distance and write a song

I didn’t shoot her

But now that I know she’s so twisted, she’s even cuter… lady!

Lady I could barely talk

When you walked in, in your ankle socks

Lady I could barely talk

When you walked in

Lady I could barely talk

Cus you walked in, in your ankle socks

Lady I could barely talk
