Lingering Still

She And Him · Volume Two [2010]

I like to learn things slow

I like learning a lot

I like to get it all again and in the end

You know you get what you got



I like to mean what I say (ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo)

But it don't always come through (ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo)

Because if I say it all again, again, again

It doesn't make it more true



CHORUS

And the world's like a science

And I'm like a secret

And I saw you lingering still (still)

I saw you lingering still



It's all just news to me (ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo)

Don't really care if it hurts (ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo)

Because if I knock it I won't know it

Then I know that it will only get worse



He was different at first (ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo)

But then he won't understand (ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo)

Because he's never going to know me

If he doesn't want to just shake my hand



CHORUS

And the world's like a science

And I'm like a secret

And I saw you lingering still (still)

I saw you lingering still



{instrumental}



CHORUS

And the world's like a science

And I'm like a secret

And I saw you lingering still (still)

I saw you lingering still



And the world's like a science

And I'm like a secret

And I saw you lingering still

I saw you lingering still
