The xx — Say Something Loving

[Intro: Alessi Brothers] Before it slips away [Chorus 1: Oliver Sim & Romy Madley Croft] 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 [Verse 1: Romy Madley Croft] I went looking for it Could have been anyone's kiss Throwing my arms at no one When I gave up, I found love [Verse 2: Oliver Sim] The thought flows through my mind And it's growing all the time I do myself a disservice To feel this weak, to be this nervous [Chorus 2: Oliver Sim & Romy Madley Croft] 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 [Post-Chorus: Alessi Brothers] Before it slips away [Verse 3: Romy Madley Croft] Your touch stays on my skin I feel it start sinking in Here come my insecurities I almost expect you to leave [Verse 4: Oliver Sim] Were you really looking for me? Try your best to reassure me I wasn't patient to meet you Am I too needy, am I too eager? [Interlude: Romy Madley Croft & Oliver Sim] 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 [Pre-Chorus: Oliver Sim & Romy Madley Croft] Did you hear me say it? Say it Did you hear me say? [Chorus 3: Oliver Sim & Romy Madley Croft] 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: Oliver Sim & Romy Madley Croft & Alessi Brothers] Before it slips away Don't let it slip away Before it slips away Don't let it slip away
