Gradually - Ben Watt

There wasn’t a lightning strike

It just crept over me

Something about your love just got to me gradually

Like an autumn fire

A growing intensity

Something about your love just got to me gradually

Opposite in so many ways

Was that what it was about?

Were we always cut out?

Love is somewhere we go where we hope to be new

I was so wrapped up in you

But after all this time

Are we not who we used to be?

Has something about our love now changed gradually?

We travel at different speeds

Sometimes gathering pace

What are the signals that I misread in your face?

I look at it all and differences just stand in the way

Making nothing okay

I ask myself if I’m imagining everything

Dark as a raven’s wing

Barely getting through

Barely getting through

Some days I lose touch with you

Strangers in all we do

No words are on your lips

We pass like silent ships

Can I prove we exist?

Where are the hours we missed?

This summer night is clear

I still want you near

Barely getting through

Barely getting through

I don’t know where I am

Or who I used to be
