About This Track

'Slow Dance' by JOSEPH is an Alternative track from the album 'The Sun' (2023). The lyrics sketch a relationship pinned to missed chances and finality, with a sense of conversation ending just as someone’s “chance to tell you is up”, then life rerouting people away from a shared home. There’s a quiet fatalism in lines about words being boxed and stored, even as the singer tries to salvage something like warmth from the fact that it happened at all.

"Slow Dance" is a track by JOSEPH, from the album The Sun, released 27th April 2023. The track is 3:19 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Slow Dance

I know there's no further conversation
I know the plane has left the runway
Yeah, the line's been cut
And my chance to tell you is up
We put each other's words in boxes
And then we stored them all away
But I'm happy we had a house
Guess life took us different routes

Somebody leaves, somebody stays
Oh-oh, but neither ever stay the same

At long last, we ended this slow dance
Guess it took you with me for us to see
The joy, pain's made us more human
And we just needed room
To see both sides of the truth

I know it'd be easier to place blame
Find friends that are thinkin' the same thing
But that's not all there was
I remember us

Somebody leaves, somebody stays
Oh-oh, but neither ever stay the same

At long last, we ended this slow dance
Guess it took you with me for us to see
The joy, pain's made us more human
And we just needed room
To see both sides of the truth

Love and hate, pain and bliss
Guilty while you're innocent
Bittersweet, sweet and bitter
You and I were glued together
You and me, me and you
Story only we knew
Had to die to come alive
To see both sides of the truth

Love and hate, pain and bliss
Guilty while you're innocent
Bittersweet, sweet and bitter
You and I were glued together
You and me, me and you
Story only we knew
Had to die to come alive
To see both sides of the truth

At long last, we ended this slow dance
Guess it took you with me for us to see
The joy, pain's made us more human
And we just needed room
To see both sides of the truth
