The slow, mellow song is nearly void of percussion. La Havas, Matt Hales of Aqualung and Disclosure’s Howard Lawrence co-wrote this song.
[Verse 1: Lianne La Havas, Keenan O'Meara]
Did the world get a little bit colder?
No wiser, just a little bit older
So slow we were bound to fall over, oh (Hm, hm)
Did the heart grow a little bit harder?
Too much, too late, too far, too gone
(Hm, hm, hm, hm)
[Chorus: Lianne La Havas]
But wasn't it kind of wonderful?
Wasn't it kind of wonderful, baby?
Wasn't it kind of wonderful, baby?
Wasn't it kind of wonderful, wonderful?
[Post-Chorus: Lianne La Havas & Keenan O'Meara]
You can trip, flick a switch negative
Break the circuit between us
But electricity lingers
In our fingers
Oh, you can burn every fuse and refuse
Turn your positive minus
Electricity lingers
In our fingers
[Verse 2: Lianne La Havas]
From here, there's nothing but horizon
Near dawn, I'm searching for the sunrise
Remember when you put the stars into my eyes? Oh
[Chorus: Lianne La Havas]
Wasn't it kind of wonderful?
Wasn't it kind of wonderful, baby?
Wasn't it kind of wonderful, wonderful?
[Post-Chorus: Lianne La Havas & Keenan O'Meara]
You can trip, flick a switch negative
Break the circuit between us
But electricity lingers
In our fingers
Oh, you can burn every fuse and refuse
Turn your positive minus
Electricity lingers
In our fingers
[Chorus: Lianne La Havas]
Oh, wasn't it kind of wonderful?
Wasn't it kind of wonderful, baby?
Wasn't it kind of wonderful, wonderful?
Oh, wasn't it kind of wonderful?
Wasn't it kind of wonderful, baby?
Wasn't it kind of wonderful, wonderful? Oh
