Chained (Live) Lyrics by The xx

Coexist (Deluxe Edition)

2022

[Intro: Romy]
We used to be closer than this
We used to be closer than this
We used to get closer than this
Is it something you miss?

[Verse 1: Oliver Sim, Oliver Sim & Romy]
I watch you breathe in
And I wished you'd stop
Only for long enough
Long enough

[Bridge: Romy]
It's
Hard
To
Say

[Verse 2: Oliver Sim, Romy, & Both]
Separate or combine
I ask you one last time, ooo
Did I hold you too tight?
Did I not let enough light in?
Ooo
Ooo
Ooo
Ooo

[Verse 3: Oliver Sim]
If a feeling appears
If your mind should sway
It's not a secret you should keep
No, I won't let you slip away

[Chorus: Romy, Oliver Sim & Romy]
We used to be closer than this
We used to be closer than this
We used to get closer than this
Is it something you miss?
Wе used to be closer than this
Wе used to be closer than this
We used to get closer than this
Is it something you miss?

[Verse 4: Oliver Sim, Romy, & Both]
Winged or chained
I ask you, 'Would you have stayed?', ooo
Did I hold you too tight?
Did I not let enough light in?
Ooo
Ooo
Ooo
Ooo

[Stage Chatter: Oliver Sim]
Thank you
