Olivia Dean – The Art Of Loving Album Lyrics

A Couple Minutes Lyrics by Olivia Dean

Turn around
Since when are you smoking now?
It's been a while, let me know
Like, did you end up moving house?
You're the only one who knows that name
You're the only one does that face
I just wanna know if you're okay
Only have a couple minutes, it already kinda feels like

Back on your sofa
Of course still I care
Love's never wasted
When it's shared
And although it's over
I'll always be there
Only have a couple minutes, guess we're going back to real life

I guess we've found a silver lining
I'm glad you're doing so well
If only you could see how I've been
If I'm being real, you know it ain't been the same
We could talk if we want now
But I already know it's no good for me

It's alright think I'm fine with the silence
There's some good in goodbyes
Oh, I

Back on your sofa
Of course still I care
Love's never wasted
When it's shared
And although it's over
I'll always be there
Only have a couple minutes and we're going back to real life

In your heart
Every part of me
We'll let go
And let it start to be

In your heart
Every part of me
We'll let go
And let it start to be

In your heart
Every part of me
We'll let go
And let it start to be

In your heart
Every part of me
We'll let go
And let it start to be

Only have a couple minutes, guess we're going back to real life
Only have a couple minutes and we're going back to real life

Baby Steps Lyrics by Olivia Dean

It's funny in the rear view
You're closer than you are
In truth we're worlds apart
I'm used to being near you
When I'm down at ten percent
And you'd plug me straight back in
Now there's no-one to text when the plane lands
Or to call when it's taking off
Right, left
Baby steps
I'll be my own pair of safe hands
It's not the end, it's the making of
Right, left

For now I'm taking
Ba ba ba, baby steps
Ba ba ba, baby steps
Ba ba ba, baby steps
Ba ba ba, baby steps

It's learning how to balance
If I'm out on Friday night
It'll be me turning on the lights
When I come home
But I'll manage
There'll be roses on the shelf
'Cause this house gon' love itself
Yeah, this house gon' love itself

I'm taking
Ba ba ba, baby steps
Ba ba ba, baby steps
Ba ba ba, baby steps
Ba ba ba, baby steps

I won't fall back
If I fall forwards
At least I have that
At least I have that

I'm taking
Ba ba ba, baby steps
Ba ba ba, baby steps
Ba ba ba, baby steps
Ba ba ba, baby steps

Ba ba ba, baby steps
Ba ba ba, baby steps (Ba ba ba, baby steps)
Ba ba ba, baby steps (Ba ba ba, baby)
Ba ba ba, baby steps

Close Up Lyrics by Olivia Dean

I, I don't know if you'll call me again
Chasing rabbits don't usually end
With "happy ever after"
And you make reality feel so bizarre
Just because of the person you are
And I'm asking all the questions
Like

How can you get close to someone
You keep out of reach?
And where does that leave me?

'Cos you don't make it easy
Now I'm all close up
I can't tell if you need me
Or want me all that much
Did I mis-read completely every single touch?
Do you even see me?

Now I'm more than a voice on the phone
Now I'm here and we're finally alone
Why do we feel so distant?
You're treating me like I'm one of the rest
I feel stupid for wearing that dress
Yeah, I guess
I saw something you didn't
And

How can you get close to someone
You keep out of reach?
And where does that leave me?

'Cos you don't make it easy
Now I'm all close up
I can't tell if you need me
Or want me all that much
Did I mis-read completely every single touch?
Do you even see me?

'Cos you don't make it easy
Now I'm all close up
I can't tell if you need me
Or want me all that much
Did I mis-read completely every single touch?
Do you even see me?

Now I'm all close up
It don't look like love
And now I'm all close up
It don't look like love

I've Seen It Lyrics by Olivia Dean

I've seen it last for thirty years
Seen it bloom then end in tears
I've seen it after school and in the park

Sat right across me on the tube
I've seen it miss a stop or two
I've seen it trying not to fall apart

I've heard it laced in every song
And still the words all come out wrong
It doesn't always answer when you call

Brings out the worst
Brings out the best
I understand it less and less
I guess I'm not supposed to know it all

I've seen it dance with friends around the table
In Eleanor, Rosie and Louise
And it makes me cry to think that I am able
To give it back the way it gives to me

I've seen it grow old and forget
Until it's just a silhouette
'Til someone picks it up and sends it on

I've seen the films
I've read the books
My mum and dad, they got me hooked
The fairytale, the search goes on and on

The more you look
The more you find
It's all around you all the time
Catches your eye, you blink and then it's gone

Brings out the worst
Brings out the best
I know it's somewhere in my chest
I guess it's been inside me all along

Lady Lady Lyrics by Olivia Dean

God, I'm gonna miss this house
But I guess I'm moving out
Sunday morning
All the things I couldn't live without
I don't need 'em now

God, I used to love this hair
Now there's something in the air
Something calling
Overnight, the clothes I always wore
Don't suit me anymore

She's always changing me without a word
And I was just, I was just getting used to her
Keep's rearranging me a little
And I was just, I was just getting used to it

That lady, lady, she's the man
I think she got a master plan
It's something I don't understand
That lady, lady, she's the—

It always had to be like this, yeah
So, if that was our last kiss
Now we know that
Now we know that dream ain't coming true
There's room for something new
give me something new

She's always changing me without a word
And I was just, I was just getting used to her
Keep's rearranging me a little
And I was just, I was just getting used to it

That lady, lady, she's the man
I think she got a master plan
It's something I don't understand
That lady, lady, she's the—
That lady, lady, she's the man
I think she got a master plan
It's something I don't understand
That lady, lady, she's the—

That lady, lady, she's the—

Growing on, growing into it
And it's all going on
Growing on, growing into it
That lady, lady, she's the man
Growing on, growing into it (That lady, lady, she's the man)
And it's all going on (That lady, lady, she's the man)
Growing on, growing into it (That lady, lady, she's the man)
That lady, lady, she's the—
Growing old, growing into it (That lady, lady, she's the man)
And it's all going on (That lady, lady, she's the man)
Growing old, growing into it (That lady, lady, she's the man)
That lady, lady, she's the—

I was just, I was just getting used to her
Her, her
That lady, lady, she's the—

Let Alone The One You Love Lyrics by Olivia Dean

Thought I was done with this feeling
Really thought you could be him
Thought I was safe
You were the warmth that I needed
Like a breeze in the evening
And then you changed
You're all the same
Yeah

It's too much to mend
You're the hug that had to end
Though I've tried to hold on
And if you knew me at all
You wouldn't try to keep me small
Who would do that to a friend
Let alone the one you love?

And any choice you had worth making
I'd push you to take it
No questions asked
No doubt in mind
But when they're mine
Yeah
You react like I'm crossing a line
I'm too much to handle and
Just dial it back a bit
Well, well I'm not having it
Babe

It's too much to mend
You're the hug that had to end
Though I've tried to hold on
And if you knew me at all
You wouldn't try to keep me small
Who would do that to a friend
Let alone the one you love?

Loud Lyrics by Olivia Dean

Even now
I don't know when you let go
Or when it slipped away
At my house
Four hands at the piano
You sure know how to play

I never asked for love
No diamond ring
Yeah, you let yourself in

And you weren't allowed
To come around and throw my heart about
To turn me on just to turn me down
And everything's unspoken now
I'm out
Silence is so loud

A month ago
You had me under covers
Butterflies in bed
Now I won't phone
'Cause we went straight to lovers
So we can't even talk as friends

I never asked for love
No diamond ring
Yeah, you let yourself in

And you weren't allowed
To come around and throw my heart about
To turn me on just to turn me down
And everything's unspoken now
I'm out
Silence is so loud

Silence is so loud
Silence is so loud
And everything's unspoken now
I'm out
Silence is so loud

Here I am
Two hands at the piano
The one I let you play
I understand
If you changed your mind about me
But all you had to do was say

Man I Need Lyrics by Olivia Dean

Talk to me, talk to me
Talk to me, talk to me

Looks like we're making up for lost time
Need you to spell it out for me
Bossa nova on all night
It's like a type of alchemy
Introduce me to your best friend
I can come and slot right in
A satellite ain't even that far
I kinda wonder where you are

Already know I can't leave it alone
You're on my mind, mmm
Already gave you the time and the place
So don't be shy
Just come be the man I need

Tell me you got something to give
I want it
I kinda like when you call me wonderful
Whatever the type of talk it is
Come on, then
I gotta know you're meant to be the man I need
Talk to me
Talk to me
Mmm, talk to me, talk to me
Be the man that I need, baby
Talk to me, talk to me
Be the man that I need, need, need
Talk to me, talk to me
Be the man that I need, baby
Talk to me, talk to me
Be the man, man, man, man, man

I'd like to think you feel the same way
But I can't tell with you sometimes
So baby, let's get on the same page
Stop making me read between the lines

Already know I can't leave it alone
You're on my mind, mmm
Already gave you the time and the place
So don't be shy
Just come be the man I need

Tell me you got something to give
I want it
I kinda like when you call me wonderful
Whatever the type of talk it is
Come on, then
I gotta know you're meant to be the man I need
Talk to me
Talk to me
Talk to me
Talk to me
Mmm, talk to me, talk to me
Be the man that I need, baby
Talk to me, talk to me
Be the man that I need, need, need
Talk to me, talk to me
Be the man that I need, baby
Talk to me, talk to me
Be the man, man, man, man, man

Nice To Each Other Lyrics by Olivia Dean

Here we are, back again
Fighting what's in front of me
There's so much to unpack again
But if I come to Italy

We could be nice to each other
Nice to each other
Wrong for each other
Right for each other
And rise to each other
Rise to each other

I don't know where the switches are
Or where you keep the cutlery
And I'll probably crash your stupid car
And make your life a misery

But we could be nice to each other
Nice to each other
Wrong for each other
Right for each other
And rise to each other
Rise to each other

'Cause you know I've done all the classic stuff
And it never works, you know it
So can we say we'll never say the classic stuff
Just show it
Now and know it
Now now now now

Meet me on the mountain top
I'll be in the shallow end
And wait for you to call it off
'Cause I don't want a boyfriend

But we could be nice to each other
Nice to each other
Wrong for each other
Right for each other
And rise to each other
Rise to each other

'Cause you know I've done all the classic stuff
And it never works, you know it
So can we say we'll never say the classic stuff
Just show it
Water, sunlight, talking all night
Just enough to grow it
Now and know it
Now now now now

It could be nice (It could be nice)
It could be so nice (It could be so nice)

Oh we could be nice to
Oh to each other
Mmm we could be nice to
Oh to each other
Mmm it could be nice to
Oh to each other
Mmm we could be nice to
Oh to each other

So Easy (To Fall In Love) Lyrics by Olivia Dean

I could be the twist, the one to make you stop
The icing on your cake, the cherry on the top
It's heaven in my heart, and we could find you some space
Mm
I could be the world to you, the missing piece
That extra sentimental kind of chemistry
Some people make it hard, with me, that isn't the case

'Cause I make it so easy to fall in love
So come give me a call, and we'll fall into us
I'm the perfect mix of Saturday night and the rest of your life
Anyone with a heart would agree
It's so easy
To fall in love with

The way I do my hair, the way I make you laugh
The way we like to share a walk in Central Park
I could be fresh air, might be the girl of your dreams (Dream, dream, dream, dream)
There's no need to hide if you're into me
'Cause I'm into you quite intimately
And maybe one night could turn into three
Well, I'm down to see

'Cause I make it so easy to fall in love
So come give me a call, and we'll fall into us
I'm the perfect mix of Saturday night and the rest of your life
Anyone with a heart would agree
It's so easy
To fall in love with me
(Me, me)

Me, yeah (Me, me)
Me, me (Me, me)
Me, me
It's so easy (Me, me)
It's so easy (Me, me)
It's so easy (Me, me)
Hey, yeah, hey (Me, me)

So easy to fall in love
So come give me a call, and we'll fall into us
I'm the perfect mix of Saturday night and the rest of your life
Anyone with a heart would agree
It's so easy
To fall in love with me

Something Inbetween Lyrics by Olivia Dean

Don't say a lot of things we might regret
Don't kiss anymore
We're both tryna keep it clean
On the *** room floor
I'm too young to believe until the end
I'm too scared to cut it short
But this time if I don't say it right
I don't care anymore

I'm still here but you're not getting me

I'm not leaving
Just feel tightly squeezed and
Love needs breathing
I'm not his, I'm not hers, I'm not your
All or nothing
I'm more, can we still be something in-between?

There's no point giving up on honesty
It's no use feeling bad
Is it thinking too *** of myself to not wanna be sad?
It's too much to belong to anyone
I'm too scared to be changed

I know you call it selfish when I say

I'm not leaving
Just feel tightly squeezed and
Love needs breathing
I'm not his, I'm not hers, I'm not your
All or nothing
I'm more, can we still be something in-between?

And oh, I don't know
They say the grass is greener where you water it
But I, I don't know
If I can grow
Here, then

I'm not leaving
Just feel tightly squeezed and
Love needs breathing
I'm not his, I'm not hers, I'm not your
All or nothing
I'm more, can we still be something in-between?
Something in-between
