Slowly Slowly – Black Confetti lyrics

[Verse 1]
Leave the car right out the front
So we got the street lights pouring inside
So I can see me cross your mind
Like something you might like, but not tonight
You are sharpening your tongue
Cutting your words, getting it done
But we are premeditated so don't say anything we've done
When it started going south
You were slow you were heavy
Not making a sound
Black confetti from your mouth
No truth to be found, you were clouding it out
And that's just it, a shooting star
Here for a moment, raising the bar
I saw us flash across a black background
Before you got out of my car

We don't lie with the lovers
We drop by
Slow hands that move under covers
Tell me your mine
I never thought that I could ruin your life
I just knew that you were my vibe

Bare in mind
There were signs
Bare in mind
There were signs from the start
Bare in mind
There were signs
Bare in mind
There were signs from the start

I'm the quicksand in your head
In love with the parasites, spreading regret
Cellophane over your eyes
Green on your phone screen, with blue goodbyes
Break the steam across the mirror
Show me your face, and tell me you won't
You are locked on me unconsciously dragging your thumb across your throat

We don't lie with the lovers
We drop by
Slow hands that move under covers
Tell me your mine
I never thought that you would actually leave
At 4am
With nothing left in the passenger seat

If I knew what would happen
Maybe I could stop the panic
Bare in mind
There were signs from the start

If I knew what you were thinking
Maybe I could've stopped the sinking
Bare in mind
There were signs from the start

I never thought of anyone but myself
I am sick, I am sorry
I’m just dust on a shelf
I am waiting on your photos
All the things you can’t reach
You can wipe me away when you leave yourself clean
There were signs
