Rafters

[Verse 1]
The bass shakes loose a single piece of confetti from the rafters
The ghost of the party the night before
And you’re the only one who notices as it catches the light
You did say you were looking for a sign
And this might be it
Spinning out over a first kiss
Dodging a thrown pint pot and recalibrating its ecliptics
She leans in
We’re gonna miss that last train
Birthday surprise, hollowed out cardboard cake with a strippergram inside
Damp flecks collected on church steps
It was quite the entrance, they all said
Yeah

[Chorus]
I worked out the meaning
Of everything
I used to get by so easy
Now I’m crumbling
But I learned how to forget it
When I watched that paper square
Come dancing from the ceiling
And my doubts just disappeared
And my doubts just-
Yeah
And my doubts just-

[Verse 2]
It was either the first or last of its kind
You either jump the gun or you take a lifetime to decide
Don’t say I didn’t warn ya
The patron saint of Withington tries it on with a pound shop Geri Horner
And it’s all of us
That little paper square
Bad timing incarnate, too little too late
Falling from the rafters
You’re here right now, doesn’t matter where you’re going after
If your mate jumped off a cliff you wouldn’t try to hit the ground faster?
Exactly
This one’s for those who turned left and kept their head
Thanks for asking

[Chorus]
I worked out the meaning
Of everything
I used to get by so easy
Now I’m crumbling
But I learned how to forget it
When I watched that paper square
Come dancing from the ceiling
And my doubts just disappeared
Yeah

[Bridge]
And all of a sudden there’s this natural light pouring through the windows
We’re alive amongst the dust
I am you and you are one of us
And nothing has to mean anything

[Chorus]
I worked out the meaning
Of everything
I used to get by so easy
Now I’m crumbling
And I learned how to forget it
When I watched that paper square
Come dancing from the ceiling
And my doubts just disappeared

I worked out the meaning
Of everything
I used to get by so easy
Now I’m crumbling
And I learned how to forget it
When I watched that paper square
Come dancing from the ceiling
And my doubts just disappeared
And my doubts just-
