[Verse 1: Orla Gartland]
Good God, you're in my kitchen
It's been so long, don't we look different?
You said, "Let's go dancing, fall asleep in my room"
Is this habit, or something I shouldn't do? Hmm
[Chorus: Orla Gartland]
Yeah, that was a close one
Yeah, that was a close one
We were really going through it
Guess we dodged another bullet
We know that we're happier
[Verse 2: Orla Gartland]
Careful, don't come any closer
You should go home or stay on the sofa

Let's go dancing, fall asleep in my room
This can't happen, guess I'll just see you soon
[Chorus: Orla Gartland]
Yeah, that was a close one
Yeah, that was a close one
We werе really going through it
Guess we dodgеd another bullet
We know that we're happier
Yeah, that was a close one
Yeah, that was a close one
We were really going through it
Guess we dodged another bullet
We know that we're happier
[Bridge: Orla Gartland, Martin Luke Brown]

Yeah, that was a close one
Yeah, that was a close one
And we were really going through it
Guess we dodged another bullet
We know that we're happier alone, oh
[Post-Chorus: Orla Gartland, Martin Luke Brown]
Yeah, that was a close one
Close one
Yeah, that was a close one (We were really going through it)
(Guess we dodged another bullet)
Close one (We know that we're happier)
[Outro: Orla Gartland]
On our own
On our own

It was night time at the studio and Martin and Mat (drummer and honorary 5th member of FIZZ) were up late jamming in the way that only Martin and Mat can.
