The XX - Crystalised

You've applied the pressure 

To have me crystallized 

And you've got the faith 

That I could bring paradise 

I'll forgive and forget 

Before I'm paralyzed 

Do I have to keep up the pace 

To keep you satisfied? 

Things have gotten closer to the sun 

And I've done things in small doses 

So don't think that I'm pushing you away 

When you're the one that I've kept closest 

You don't move slow 

In taking steps in my direction 

The sound resounds echo 

Does it lessen your affection? No 

You say I'm foolish 

For pushing this aside 

But burn down our home 

I won't leave alive 

Glaciers have melted to the sea 

I wish the tide would take me over 

I've been down on my knees 

And you just keep on getting closer 

Glaciers have melted to the sea 

(Things have gotten closer to the sun) 

I wish the tide would take me over 

(And I've done things in small doses) 

I've been down onto my knees 

(So don't think that I'm pushing you away) 

And you just keep on getting closer 

(When you're the one that I've kept closest) 

Go slow 

Go slow 

Go slow 

Go slow 

Go slow
