I cannot quite believe Music Monday has gone this long without this song making its way into the list! So here it is.
I have to credit George, another friend of mine, for introducing me to "The XX" on a impromptus night out. So thanks "Little Big Love"! I love not only this song, but every track on the self-entitled album The XX.
Enjoy!
LYRICS...
HEART SKIPPED A BEAT
by The XX
by The XX
Please don't say we're done
When I'm not finished
I could give you so much more
Make you feel, like never before
Welcome, they said welcome to the floor
It's been a while and you've found someone better
But I've been waiting too long to give this up
The more I see, I understand
But sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
I was struggling to get in
Left waiting outside your door
I was sure
You'd give me more
No need to come to me
When I can make it all the way to you
You made it clear
You weren't near
Near enough for me
Heart skipped a beat
And when I caught it you were out of reach
But I'm sure, I'm sureYou've heard if before
I agree. The XX have such a raw and honest insight into love that their music transcends, it its autobiographical yet biographical for whoever hears it.
