My brain walks in the room
Introducing the speaker's thought process as their brain enters the room first.
Before the rest of me
Highlighting the precedence of the speaker's brain in their actions.
I seem to follow it around
Expressing the speaker's tendency to follow and be guided by their own thoughts.
So good at explaining
Acknowledging the speaker's skill in explaining things.
At finding the right words
Emphasizing the speaker's proficiency in choosing the right words.
But when I look at you
Describing the speaker's difficulty or failure when trying to express themselves to the person they are addressing.
I fail

Every other love song

Says it better than I could
Acknowledging that other love songs express the speaker's feelings better.
Oh I tried to write a good one
Sharing the speaker's attempt to write a good love song but giving up, possibly due to the perceived inadequacy.
But gave up like I knew I would
Admitting the speaker's anticipated failure in songwriting.
Now all that I can say
Revealing the limitation in the speaker's expression, leading to gratitude for the addressed person.
And all I can do
Emphasizing the speaker's gratitude and limited ability to express feelings.
Is thank you for the heaven on earth that is time
Expressing gratitude for the addressed person being a source of heavenly joy in the speaker's life.
With you
Summarizing the precious time spent with the addressed person.
Loving you reminds me
Drawing a comparison between loving the addressed person and the awe-inspiring experience of seeing the Grand Canyon.
Of seeing the Grand Canyon

My eyes forgot how on earth to see
Describing a moment of realization as the world comes into focus.
As the world came into focus
Highlighting the speechless reaction of the speaker in the presence of the addressed person.
I just sat there speechless
Expressing the profound impact of the experience, possibly leading to tears of emotion.
And later found a tear on my cheek
Reflecting on the discovery of a tear on the speaker's cheek after the emotional moment.
Every other love song
Reintroducing the theme of comparing the speaker's expressions of love with other love songs.
Says it better than I could
Reiterating that other love songs convey emotions more effectively than the speaker's attempts.
Oh I tried to write a good one
Recalling the speaker's failed attempt to write a compelling love song.
But gave up like I knew I would
