The xx just released another preview for their upcoming full length entitled Coexist. It was written as they were wrapping up the recording sessions for the new album. Chained features the classic xx subtlety laid across an airy production layered with familiar bass and guitar tones mixed along a dancing 2 step beat. If you pre-order now you can get their other single Angels.

Chained Lyrics via thexx.info
I WATCHED YOU BREATHE IN
AND I WISHED YOU’D STOP
ONLY FOR LONG ENOUGH
LONG ENOUGH
IT’S
HARD
TO
SAY
SEPARATE OR COMBINE
I ASK YOU
ONE LAST TIME
DID I HOLD YOU TOO TIGHT
DID I NOT LET ENOUGH LIGHT IN
OOOH-OOOH-OOOH
OOOH-OOOH-OOOH
OOOH-OOOH-OOOH
OOOH-OOOH-OOOH
IF A FEELING APPEARS
IF YOUR MIND SHOULD SWAY
IT’S NOT A SECRET YOU SHOULD KEEP
I WON’T LET YOU SLIP AWAY
WE USED TO BE CLOSER THAN THIS
WE USED TO BE CLOSER THAN THIS
WE USED TO GET CLOSER THAN THIS
IS IT SOMETHING YOU MISS
WE USED TO BE CLOSER THAN THIS
WE USED TO BE CLOSER THAN THIS
WE USED TO GET CLOSER THAN THIS
IS IT SOMETHING YOU MISS
WINGED OR CHAINED
I ASK YOU
WOULD YOU HAVE STAYED
DID I HOLD YOU TOO TIGHT
DID I NOT LET ENOUGH LIGHT IN
OOOH-OOOH-OOOH
OOOH-OOOH-OOOH
OOOH-OOOH-OOOH
OOOH-OOOH-OOOH
