“fumble” is a liquid drum and bass track about post-relationship emotions. In the jumpy banger, Piri realises that she is the catch that her ex has missed out on, rubs his loss in his face and then ultimately makes fun of him.
The lyrics are very empowering for Piri and show how she has gained self...
[Verse 1]
Don't you think it's crazy how easily we take things for granted?
Even when you know it's hard to shake the feeling
You thought there was no way out
You've been going mental since it started
Even though you want it, it just hurts to keep it
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't blame you for your choices
I don't think your heart is bad
I don't want you to resent me
But you caved into the voices
They would always drive you mad
It's unfolding right infront of me
[Chorus]
You know it hurts to watch you fumble the bag
Slipping through your fingers just like that
How'd you fumble a catch like me, yeah?
Saw you crumble and snap
Picking all the splinters from your hand
But you fumbled the bag, it was me, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
Mmm, it was long, it was long, it was long
But you did it, did it wrong, did it wrong, did it wrong
Yеah, you had it, now it's gone, now it's gone, now it's gone
I hopе you, I hope you're okay
Wasn't right, wasn't right, wasn't right
You were putting up a fight, up a fight, up a fight
Out of mind and out of sight, out of sight, out of sight
I hope you, I hope you're okay
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Yeah, pieces, baby, can you hold 'em together or not?
It's seeming like you're always looking for things that I'm not
Something deep inside me always knew
I would be dealing with some bullshit like this
Yeah, I'm not gonna fall, not gonna spend ages
Dreaming of all the ways I could change it
I made the call, don't know how you're blaming me for your small dick energy baby
You can't see the wood for the trees
Shit gets hard, you dip, you leave
Never what you want it to be
Yeah, you see a girl, but you don't see me
[Chorus]
You know it hurts to watch you fumble the bag
Slipping through your fingers just like that
How'd you fumble a catch like me, yeah?
Saw you crumble and snap
Picking all the splinters from your hand
But you fumbled the bag, it was me, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
Mmm, it was long, it was long, it was long
But you did it, did it wrong, did it wrong, did it wrong
Yeah, you had it, now it's gone, now it's gone, now it's gone
I hope you, I hope you're okay
Wasn't right, wasn't right, wasn't right
You were putting up a fight, up a fight, up a fight
Out of mind and out of sight, out of sight, out of sight
I hope you, I hope you're okay

So, the idea with “fumble” was to make a breakup song that had a more empowering and positive spin on it, so basically it’s about that feeling a few weeks after a breakup where you’re kind of like “Damn, I’m actually a catch and my ex is the one missing out.” It was also a really new experience for...
