Basically.... this song is very simple! The xx did a great job explaining the beginning stages of a relationship. They both like each other very much but do not want to rush into anything. They want to give each other "basic space."

without going into too much, he first talks about how she can take him all, or in fours, and later he talks about how he's taking her piece by piece... as taking the relationship very slowly and not to rushing into anything to fast, not specifically sex.

yup! i made an account just for this song. its amazing the meaning a song could mean when it becomes relatable. this is my interpretation as music is an art and art is subjective. enjoy.

*ignore any grammatical errors, i have plenty of homework ive been avoiding and did't proofread. sorry!
