Lyrics

[Intro]

Before it slips away

[Chorus]

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 feelings escaped me

[Verse 1]

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]

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]

You say something loving

It's so overwhelming the thrill of affection

It feels so unfamiliar

You say something loving

Without hesitation, it hits me

Hits me

It feels so unfamiliar

[Chorus]

Before it slips away

[Verse 3]

Your touch stays on my skin

I feel it start sinking in

Here come my insecurities

I almost expect you to leave

[Verse 4]

Were you really looking for me?

Try your best to reassure me

I was impatient to meet you

Am I too needy, am I too eager?

[Verse 5]

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

[PreChorus]

Did you hear me say it?

Say it

Did you hear me say?

[Chorus]

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
