Reunion
The xx / BBC Philharmonic Orchestra Lyrics

We visit a life we both left behind
We reminisce about a past we both moved on from

Ignore the heart
Don't listen to your emotions

Move to the ever-moving
Keep moving forward with the flow of life

Or, blazin', we go over
We can soar above everything else with passion

And over and over and over again
Repeating certain patterns can be comforting

If I wait too long
Delaying too much might make me lose you

I'll lose you from my sight
You'll disappear from my life

Maybe tonight
Perhaps it'll happen tonight

I could stop dreaming
I should stop fantasizing

And start believing in forever
And start hoping for everlasting love

And ever and ever and ever again
And repeat this forever

Reunion, reunion
Meeting again, meeting again

Never not ever, never not ever again
It's going to happen again and again

And it's burning inside 'til you give it up
It's eating you alive until you let it go

How long should I wait?
How long must I be patient?

There's no need to hide, from this
There's nothing to keep secret, it's obvious

Only you in here
It's just us two in this space

There's an end to us with someone else inside
There's a new chapter without us together

You shine your light
You bring positivity in my life

There goes that feeling, won't let me see them
That sensation won't allow me to watch them

Did I see you, see me, in a new light?
Did we perceive each other differently?

Did I see you, see me, in a new light? (Never not ever again)
Did we see each other differently? (This will happen again)

Did I (Never not ever) see you (Ever again)
Did I (This will repeat forever) see you (Again)

See me (Never not ever) in a new light? (Never not ever again)
Will you (This is ongoing) see me (And this will continue) differently again?

Never not ever, never not ever again
This is never-ending
