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
