THE XX
Reunion
“We visit a life we both left behind
We know the heart
Move to the ever-moving
Or, blazin’, we go over
And over and over and over again
If I wait too long, I lose you from my sight
Maybe tonight
I could stop dreaming
And start believing in forever
And ever and ever and ever again
Reunion, reunion
Reunion, reunion
Never not ever, never not ever again
And it’s burning inside ’til you give it up
How long should I wait?
There’s no need to hide, I let
Only you in here
There’s an end to us with someone else inside
You shine your light
There goes that feeling, won’t let me see them
Never not ever, never not ever again
Did I see you see me in a new light?
Never not ever again
Did I (Never not ever) see you (Never again)
See me (Never not ever) in a new light? (Never not ever again)
Did I see you see me?
Never not ever, never not ever again”
Sunset
“I saw you again, it felt like we had nExplainever met
It’s like the sun set in your eyes and never wanted to rise
And what have you done with the one I love?
When I look into your eyes, I see no surprise
I always thought it was sad
The way we act like strangers
After all that we had
We act like we had never met
We make believe, I’ve never seen your face, you neither me
You catch my eye, I’ll register a smile
You were more than just a friend, oh the feeling
It never came to an ending, I can’t bear to see you
I always thought it was a shame
That we have to play these games
It felt like you really knew me
Now it feels like you see through me
When I see you again
I’ll know not to expect
Stay one step away
We won’t have to wait
When I see you again
And I’m greeted as a friend
It is understood
That we did all we could”
Missing
“My heart is beating in a different way
Been gone such a long time and I feel the same
My heart is beating in a different way
Been gone such a long time
Will you miss me (How did I, how did I how did I, oh)
When there’s nothing to see? (How did I, how did I how did I, oh)
Tell me, how did this come to be? (How did I, how did I how did I, oh)
And now there’s no hope for you and me
Do you still believe
In you and me?
Are we all we could be?
Is it meant to be?
My heart is beating in a different way
Been gone such a long time”
Tides
“You leave with the tide
And I can’t stop you leaving
I can see it in your eyes
Some things that lost their meaning
Devote to me
Alone with me
Say with me
“Why would you ever want to leave?”
Fade out of view
I wouldn’t do that to you
I wouldn’t just leave us alone
When we could be close, close, close
Hold me close when you could leave us alone
Why would you just leave us alone
When we have been close, close”
Chained
“I watched you breathe in
It’s hard to say
Separate or combine
I ask you one last time
If a feeling appears
I won’t let you slip away
We used to be closer than this
We used to be closer than this
We used to get closer than this
Is it something you missed?
Winged or chained
I ask you would you have stayed”
