“Inevitable” illustrates the thought process of the narrator, who is nostalgic for the beginning of a relationship and believes it will never get back to how it was before.
[Verse 1]
It's the same routine, scene by scene
Look me in the eye, are you not bored?
Flicking on the news, kicking off your shoes
On the bedroom floor
I've got a tear in my eye
But I tell you I'm tired
But I'm not tired
[Verse 2]
I miss chat-up lines, the first times
The goodbyes that we dragged out
Now it's just a wave, not a lot to say
Do you have doubts?
You're putting out your hand
With a sweaty palm
I don't want to hold it
[Chorus]
Maybe it's inevitable
Maybe it's inevitable
But this just isn't fun anymore
Maybe it's inevitable
Maybe it's inevitable
But this just isn't fun anymore
[Verse 3]
And I'm nicely dressed in my Sunday best
And I touch your chest but you don't care
So I bite my cheeks and I walk the streets
Just to breathe air
Oh, it's so comfortable
It's insufferable
I don't wanna hide it
[Chorus]
Maybe it's inevitable
Maybe it's inevitable
But this just isn't fun anymore
Maybe it's inevitable
Maybe it's inevitable
But this just isn't fun anymore
[Bridge]
We're so tangled up it's hard to know
How we might function on our own
I'm scared that we might never know
And I think it over every night
Then face the day and wear a smile
Oh shit, we're living a lie
[Chorus]
Maybe it's inevitable
Maybe it's inevitable
But this just isn't fun anymore
Maybe it's inevitable
Maybe it's inevitable
But this just isn't fun anymore
Maybe it's inevitable
Maybe it's inevitable
But this just isn't fun anymore
Maybe it's inevitable
Maybe it's inevitable
But this just isn't fun anymore

When the song was first played in Dublin the lyrics for the third Pre-Chorus were:
We’re so comfortable
It’s insufferable
I don’t wanna hide it
I’ve known all along
But the good is gone
And we shouldn’t fight it
However, the last three lines were later removed.

Our video plot connected with the main lyric “maybe it’s inevitable, but this just isn’t fun anymore”. I wrote the song about a failing relationship but having a video about a couple felt so done – so we reimagined the lyric in the context of a family, with a daughter involved who was caught in the...
