Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Before it slips away...

...

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

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

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 reassure 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?

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

Before it slips away

Don't let it slip away

Before it slips away

...

Don't let it slip away

...
