"The xx" on their relationship with each other

The xx - Oliver Sim, Romy Madley Croft, Jamie Smith Two of them met because their parents were friends. They were only two years old at the time. Maybe three. At that age, your parents choose your friends for you. The boy and girl went to nursery school together, then primary school, then college. When they were 15, they formed a band.

Oliver Sim Six years later, their band was nominated for the 2010 Mercury Prize. They were up against Paul Weller, Dizzee Rascal, Mumford & Sons and Laura Marling. They won. That was surreal. One of their songs, Intro, was sampled by Rihanna for Drunk on Love. That was even more surreal. The same song was used by the BBC during coverage of the British general election.
 They found that to be the most surreal of all. Throughout all this, they toured the world together, living in each other's pockets, but their friendship remained strong.
''I don't remember life before her,'' the boy says, uttering a line that could be a lyric from one of their songs.

Coexist - Angels - Lyric

 Angels

Light reflects from your shadow
It is more than I thought could exist
You move through the room
Like breathing was easy
If someone believed me

They would be
As in love with you as I am
They would be
As in love with you as I am
They would be
In love, love, love

And everyday
I am learning about you
The things that no one else sees
And the end comes too soon
Like dreaming of angels
And leaving without them
And leaving without them

Being
As in love with you as I am
Being
As in love with you as I am
Being
As in love, love, love

And with words unspoken
A silent devotion
I know you know what I mean
And the end is unknown
But I think I’m ready
As long as you’re with me

Being
As in love with you as I am
Being
As in love with you as I am
Being
As in love, love, love

Coexist - Chained - Lyric

Chained

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
