[Verse 1]
I think we got this
In a wedding dress and a Casio watch
This year's a plot twist
'Cause I'm not the sort to be certain a lot
Ran for the trenches and there you were humming "Strawberry Fields"
No more defenses, no more defenses
[Bridge]
You are better than you know yourself
I found you off the highest shelf
I'll always feel the way I felt
[Chorus]
Sat in a pub on the Heath
First kiss, first Friday in June
You asked what I'd tell my friends, said "It's a glowing review"
Baby nothing much has changed, I guess your buzzcut, it grew
But I'm still the girl with the blush, giving a glowing review
We'll make a home on the cracks, we'll tell nothing but the truth
And for the rest of my life, you'll get a glowing review
(Ooh, maybe)
[Verse 2]
Maybe it's perfect, maybe it's incredibly flawed
It doesn't matter
I'm happy honey, I'm locking the door
This is our shelter, birthdays are nailed to the fridge
What did I tell you, what did I tell you?
[Bridge]
You are better that you know yourself
I found you off the highest shelf
I'll always feel the way I felt, felt, felt
[Chorus]
Sat in a pub on the Heath
First kiss, first Friday in June
You asked what I'd tell my friends, said "It's a glowing review"
Baby nothing much has changed, I guess your buzzcut, it grew
But I'm still the girl with the blush, giving a glowing review
We'll make a home on the cracks, we'll tell nothing but the truth
And for the rest of my life, you'll get a glowing review
(Oh, yeah)
[Outro]
Blood moons, skylarks
My baby's out the ball park
Nice teeth, wide heart, I'll never need a hall pass
Eyes won't wander, it's my honor
All my future rested on you
Stairwell hideouts, smiling with your eyebrows
Life without ya, I never wanna find out
You're scared, me too
I won't leave you
I won't leave you
I won't leave you
I won't leave you
I won't leave you

I love working from phrases, and “glowing review” felt right immediately. This song was the very last one we wrote, and I was able to pull in as much from the other songs as possible. Joe used elements of all the other songs in this one, and then there’s the lyrics. I say, “Sat in a pub on the heath...
