The XX - Say Something Loving lyrics

Before it slips away [Hook] Say something loving I just don’t remember the thrill of affection I just don’t remember Say something loving I need a reminder the feeling’s escaped me I went looking for it Could have been anyone’s kiss Throwing my arms at no-one When I gave up I found love Therefore flows through my mind And it’s growing all the time I do myself a disservice To feel this weak, to be this nervous [Hook] You say something loving It’s so overwhelming, the thrill of affection Feels so unfamiliar You say something loving Without hesitation it hits me, hits me It feels so unfamiliar Before it slips away Your touch stays on my skin I feel it start sinking in Here come my insecurities I almost expect you to leave Were you really looking for me? Try your best to rea**ure me I wasn’t patient to meet you Am I too needy, am I too eager? I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know I don’t know what this is but it doesn’t feel wrong I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know I don’t know what this is but it doesn’t feel wrong Did you hear me say it? Say it Did you hear me say? [Hook] I say something loving I can’t hold it inside, the thrill of affection Is only getting stronger I say something loving All my hesitations are fading, fading I feel it taking over [Outro] Before it slips away Don’t let it slip away Before it slips away Don’t let it slip away
