"Slow Love" lyrics
You raise the water to my ever-ebbing tide
It's alchemy the velocity that you cross my mind
The older I get the more that I realise
Love is a dance we have to rehearse sometimes
You're in my corner when there's no one on my side
How can even monotony with you feel so nice?
I'd stay in the wings and wait out a dozen lives
To sit with you quietly just one more time
And though they'll never know
We've a love they used to write about back in those earnest days of old
And though it's eight below
I can't feel the bitterness of winter when you're wrapped up in my coat
I think I may have just defied the odds of man
I met an angel, by the sheer dumb luck of chance
From hand to hand, chest to chest, now gettin' scans
That single ultrasound, where our new life began
Never believed this wretched heart would be revived
Until that decorated finger made you mine
Was mistletoe, then arbours, and then signs
That showed the world this little house was occupied
So, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
As I hoped, love is better slow
You bring the colour to, what was a greyscale life
And yet, I long for the day where you are all dressed in white
The older I get the more that I realise
Love is a flame we have to relight sometimes
And though they'll never know
We've a love they used to write about back in those earnest days of old
And though it's eight below
I can't feel the bitterness of winter when you're wrapped up in my coat
I think I may have just defied the odds of man
I met an angel, by the sheer dumb luck of chance
From hand to hand, chest to chest, now gettin' scans
That single ultrasound, where our new life began
Never believed this wretched heart would be revived
Until that decorated finger made you mine
Was mistletoe, then arbours, and then signs
That showed the world this little house was occupied
So, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
As I hoped, love is better
When it doesn't need a reason, and cannot be defined
It's wrapped in a hello, and echos past goodbye
Even when the distance feels like it's become too wide
Neither one of us would leave, and yet we'd both avow
"Go off, go off and chase the world"
Then have an evening where we reminisce on everything we were, like
You're the lost to my found
You're the why to my how
The up to my down
You're the here to my now
Home to my house
You're the pen to my vows
The one in the crowd
I think I may have just defied the odds of man
I met an angel, by the sheer dumb luck of chance
From hand to hand, chest to chest, now gettin' scans
That single ultrasound, where our new life began
Never believed this wretched heart would be revived
Until that decorated finger made you mine
Was mistletoe, then arbours, and then signs
That showed the world this little house was occupied
So, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
As I hoped, love is better slow
It's alchemy the velocity that you cross my mind
The older I get the more that I realise
Love is a dance we have to rehearse sometimes
You're in my corner when there's no one on my side
How can even monotony with you feel so nice?
I'd stay in the wings and wait out a dozen lives
To sit with you quietly just one more time
And though they'll never know
We've a love they used to write about back in those earnest days of old
And though it's eight below
I can't feel the bitterness of winter when you're wrapped up in my coat
I think I may have just defied the odds of man
I met an angel, by the sheer dumb luck of chance
From hand to hand, chest to chest, now gettin' scans

Never believed this wretched heart would be revived
Until that decorated finger made you mine
