# No Big Speech

Track 7 of 17 on *All of It Was Ours* by Boots & Bassline, released 2026-09-18. 3:16.

A hesitant confession needs no polished words when someone is prepared to wait.

For someone who never needed the perfect words.

A song for: looking back together.

## Lyrics

You start to say it, stop halfway
Then laugh like it was nothing
I know that face, I know that move
You don't have to keep on running
You look down at your hands
Like they might give you away

You can take your time with me
I won't press you for the words

No big speech
You can say it badly
You can lose your words
I'll wait while you find them
No big speech
Just look at me
I'll meet you there
Where you are

You talk about the weather first
Then your drink, then the song
I let you take the long way round
You still haven't got it out
When you finally say my name
I don't let you look away

I don't need it polished
I don't need it on cue
Say it how it comes to you
I'll hear it through

No big speech
You can say it badly
You can lose your words
I'll wait while you find them
No big speech
Just look at me
I've wanted this
For quite a while

No big speech
