Slowly Lyrics by Olivia Dean

Growth

2021

[Verse 1]
Down in Margate had a sip of you
And it went straight to my head
I could've opened up, cried and almost been myself
But I took the piss instead

[Pre-Chorus]
I find it hard, hard to be soft
Stop saying I'm perfect
When clearly I'm not
Just need to catch
Catch my breath

[Chorus]
Go slowly, slowly
I know you're not supposed to know me
I only see it when you show me slowly
I love to teach you how to hold me
So go on, hold me

[Verse 2]
Remember when you called us both a cab
And forgot you had your bike
And the whole way home, I thought
"How's he keeping up with me?
He must be really into me"
As I fight the urge to fly

[Pre-Chorus]
I find it hard, hard to be soft
Stop saying I'm perfect
When clearly I'm not
Just need to catch
Catch my breath

[Chorus]
Go slowly, slowly
I know you're not supposed to know me
I only see it when you show me slowly
I love to teach you how to hold me
So go on, hold me
Go slowly, slowly
I know you're not supposed to know me
I only see it when you show me slowly
I love to teach you how to hold me
So go on, hold me

[Outro]
Maybe I will be fine this time
And I'll let you see me in the light
Yeah, maybe I will be fine
