[Verse 1]
You ain’t even flirting, that’s the funny part,
Just talking ’bout your day and there I go again—
Smiling at the ceiling, kicking at the sheets,
How you make a common sentence sound uncommon to me?
Nothing dressed in diamonds, nothing rehearsed,
You just find the right meaning without reaching for the words.
I usually leave breadcrumbs, see who follows where they lead,
You be halfway through the thought before I finish what I mean.
And that’s dangerous,
’Cause my mind don’t usually rest.
Always translating what I meant
From what somebody else just guessed.
Then you come speaking fluent
In a language I made up—
Now something in my chest is going,
Oh… fuck.
[Pre-Chorus]
’Cause you ain’t saying magic,
Still it lands that way.
Nothing extraordinary—
’Til I hear you say it.
[Chorus]
You talk to me in native,
Like my mind ain’t complicated.
Say the most regular thing—
Why my whole body translate it?
I don’t know what you call it,
But I know what it became—
You ain’t speaking any different,
You just say it with my name.
Oh, you say it in my language,
And my body understands.
Started somewhere in the talking,
Now I wanna hold your hand.
Wasn’t looking for a feeling,
Wasn’t planning on a thing—
You just said it in my language,
Now look what you did to me.
[Verse 2]
It ain’t butterflies exactly,
It’s a current underneath,
Something warm behind my rib cage,
Something restless in my knees.
And yeah, sometimes it’s desire—
I won’t lie about the heat—
But sometimes I just hear your voice
And something settles into me.
That’s the part that’s got me curious,
’Cause wanting usually screams.
This feels more like recognition,
Like remembering a dream.
Like I’ve spent years subtitling
Every complicated thought,
Then you laugh right where I meant it—
I don’t have to explain the plot.
[Pre-Chorus]
You ain’t trying to impress me,
That’s what gets me every time.
You just wander through a sentence
And somehow end up in my mind.
[Chorus]
You talk to me in native,
Like my mind ain’t complicated.
Say the most regular thing—
Why my whole body translate it?
I don’t know what you call it,
But I know what it became—
You ain’t speaking any different,
You just say it with my name.
Oh, you say it in my language,
And my body understands.
Started somewhere in the talking,
Now I wanna hold your hand.
Wasn’t looking for a feeling,
Wasn’t planning on a thing—
You just said it in my language,
Now look what you did to me.
[Bridge — building]
Maybe chemistry ain’t lightning,
Maybe sometimes it’s a click—
It’s somebody catching meanings
Other people always miss.
It’s the pause before I’m finished,
And you already understand.
It’s my brain leaning in closer
Before you ever touch my hand.
And the wildest part about it?
You don’t even have to try.
You can talk about absolutely nothing,
Still I’m hanging on the line.
So if this started in my head,
Tell me how it traveled south—
Why I’m thinking ’bout your kisses
Every time you open your mouth?
[Final Chorus — fuller]
You talk to me in native,
Like my mind ain’t complicated.
Say the most regular thing—
Still my whole body translates it.
Think I finally know what gets me:
It’s the way you make me feel
Understood before you touch me—
Like you somehow know me still.
Oh, you say it in my language,
And my body understands.
Started somewhere in the talking,
Now I’m reaching for your hand.
Didn’t chase it, didn’t force it,
Never planned on anything—
Then you went and swept me sideways
Somewhere in between.
Who knows what we could call this?
Who knows where this thing could lead?
I just know I wanna find out
What you bring out of me.
So keep talking like you’re talking—
I’ll keep listening in between.
I wanna learn a little more
About you…
And let you learn about me
